The work at LA SPINETTA is dedicated to the vineyards, which we treat with the
utmost care, attention and respect, especially in regards to agronomy and production
quantities. By using no or the least possible amount of chemicals and by keeping
our production relatively small (only 17-20 hl (1.7 -2 tons) per hectare), we put 90% of
our effort into our vineyards. We are aware that the vineyards have long
existed before LA SPINETTA has begun to make wine and they will survive us.
Not having inherited our land through generations of winemakers, our
vineyards were carefully selected. All of our vineyards have south,
south-east or south-west exposure and the vines are mostly of old age (35-65
years). Only vines of substantial age are able to give mineralogy,
longevity, complexity and terrain character to the wine. Vines of younger age,
we only use to make
three wines: Barbera Cą di Pian, Langhe Nebbiolo and Il Nero di Casanova.
