“Pin” Rosso Monferrato DOC 2020

La Spinetta / Giorgio Rivetti | Piedmont
La Spinetta s.s. | Via Annunziata 17 | IT 14054 Castagnole Lanze

Pin is dedicated to Giuseppe, the father of the Rivetti siblings Carlo, Bruno, Giorgio and Giovanna. It is a blend of Nebbiolo and Barbera. The Barbera comes from the Bionzo vineyard, while the Nebbiolo is a selection from old vines in Castagnole Lanze. This is a beautiful blend of Piedmont's great red grapes that deliver freshness and bright intensity. Expansive and persistent aromas of blueberries, redcurrants and blackberries. Strong cherry and cassis rise to the top, followed by light spice and smoke from barrel ageing. The harmonious balance between these two grape varieties, one of which provides exuberance and the other elegance, is simply marvellous. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2020 Monferrato Rosso Pin is terrific. This is one of the best recent vintages I can recall tasting. The blend of 65% Nebbiolo (from Barbaresco) and 35% Barbera d'Asti Bionzo. Floral overtones, refined tannins and a restrained oak imprint elevate the Pin. Crushed flowers, cinnamon and blood orange play off a core of red-toned fruit. These Nebbiolo/Barbera blends are rare these days. This is about as good as it gets." Vinous
