  • La Spinetta's Giorgio Rivetti on What It Takes to Make Outstanding Italian Wine
    http://blogs.calgaryherald.com/2013/05/31/la-spinettas-giorgio-rivetti-on-what-it-takes-to-make-outstanding-italian-wine/?postpost=v2#content La Spinetta’s Giorgio Rivetti on what it takes to make outstanding Italian wine May 31, 2013. 12:08 pm • Section: Food and Wine Photos, courtesy, La Spinetta Giorgio Rivetti makes some of Italy’s top wines at La Spinetta. Giorgio Rivetti has been drawn to wine since he was six years old, growing up in Piedmont in Northwestern Italy, often taking a nip of what was being poured. By the time he was a teenager he was enrolled in a formal wine program. His father Giuseppe Rivetti had grown grapes and made small amounts of wine. That changed in 1977 when the Rivetti family — Giuseppe, Giorgio and his brothers Bruno and Carlo — began La Spinetta. They focused on Moscato d’Asti, a slightly bubbly, sweet dessert wine made from the Muscat grape. In 1985 they started making their first red wine, Cà di Pian, from Barbera grapes. And the growth continued. In 1995 they purchased the Gallina vineyard and began producing Nebbiolo wines in Barbaresco. In 2000 they entered the prestigious region of Barolo, building a winery at the Campè vineyard. The winery expanded beyond Piedmont in 2001 when they began producing wines in Tuscany at the Casanova winery. A Methode Champenoise winery was added to the portfolio in 2011 with the purchase of Contratto, located back in Piedmont. Despite the steady growth, the wines of La Spinetta have remained some of Italy’s best. Rivetti, 57, is a passionate and focused winemaker with a strong belief in tradition.

  • Sommelier's Selection
    SOMMELIER’S SELECTION WHITE The Viognier grape is famous in Northern Rhône in the appellation of Condrieu, but Château Pesquié creates a stunning, rich and aromatic Viognier grown in Southern Rhône’s Ventoux Mountains. Balanced with a beautiful acidity, this wine pairs fantastically with seafood or fish. Aromas of apricot, pear and white flowers follow through on the palate. 750ml Château Pesquié ‘La Paradou’ Viognier, Rhône, FR 2017 58. RED The Grenache grape hails from Spain, where it is known as Garnacha, but arrived in France in the Middle Ages. Grenache flourishes in the warm climate found in Southern Rhône, where Château Pesquié over-delivers on a medium to full-bodied red wine with light tannins and notes of black pepper, black cherry and blackberry. 750ml Château Pesquié ‘La Paradou’ Grenache, Rhône, FR 2016 58. *limited quantity available BY THE GLASS BUBBLES 6oz 750ml Tawse ‘Spark’ Sparkling Riesling, Niagara, ON 2014 15. 65.
