La Spinetta One Liter Club, for the real wine lover... | |

The idea behind the One
Liter Club…
After giving it some thought, we recently decided to reintroduce this
special format against all trends. But not only that, we also decided to
form a special club, the La Spinetta One Liter Club.
This Club is designated to wine lovers around the globe, who really enjoy
to drink great wines.
The times of large family dinners are scares. Today’s society has reduced
the majority of families to two people, who nevertheless enjoy eating at
home and opening a bottle of great wine. Home cooked meals paired with an
excellent bottle of wine are becoming the new trend of “fine dining”. However real wine lovers run into a problem:
Couples told us, that they like to open a very special bottle of wine
with a home cooked meal, but half through the meal, the bottle is already
finished.
To open a second bottle of this special wine (if they still have a second
one) seems exaggerated and to switch to another wine seems
difficult.
The solution to the problem: a one liter bottle like they used to make!
Becoming and being member…
Anyone, who feels, that
a La Spinetta 0.75l bottle is a bit too small and a Magnum is a bit too big should join our club.
Club members, if desired, receive an online newsletter, that gives more insight on La Spinetta and what is going on in the Langhe. La Spinetta is happy to be able to stay in close contact to those people, who love our wines.

The One Liter wines…
We recommend Club members to make reservations, as the quantity bottled is extremely limited:
Availability...
“One day hands on at La Spinetta”:
Saturday, September 4th,
2010. Program and participation details:
The day will start in the morning with a small verbal introduction from
Giorgio Rivetti, followed by a vineyard workshop (groups split into smaller
groups), where you will be able to harvest Moscato. Giovanna and Marco
Rivetti will show you what rules you have to follow when picking Moscato
grapes. Picking might seem easy, but you will realize that a lot of
attention needs to be paid.
Afterwards, we will have a picnic in the vineyard with local antipasti and
La Spinetta wines from Tuscany.
Afternoon
cellar workshop (groups split again into smaller groups), where you again
will be able to get your hands dirty learning how to crush and press Moscato
grapes and learn the fascinating steps of Moscato fermentation in closed
autoclave tanks. Andrea Rivetti and Stephano Mazetta will be showing
insights of their work.
Evening dinner at Campe winery. Giovanna Rivetti will cook local Piedmont
dishes accompanied by La Spinetta Piedmont wines. During the second half of
the dinner, wines (not only La Spinetta) will be served blind for a more
objective opinion. You are more than welcome to bring a wine for the blind
tasting. Participation will be free of charge. Members only. Minimum number of participants: 15, maximum 30. La Spinetta has arranged for special room rates (pdf download for further info) at a very nice local hotel and also offer assistance to further program your visit, if you decide to spend a couple of days in the area. Reservations are accepted on a first come first serve basis. We, however, require a reservation deposit of 200,00 Euro per person to confirm your participation, that will be returned to each participant on the day of the event. With this requirement we hope to avoid cancellations. Further details will follow. At present we have 17 people that already have reserved their spot for the event. If you consider coming to Piedmont, please do send us an e-mail and let us know that you would like to join us on this exciting day!
