  • 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.

  • Danilo Thomain
    Danilo Thomain Home of the second-highest winegrowing zone in the valley, the the Enfer d’Arvier is a splendorous amphitheater of steeply terraced vines overlooking the Dora Baltea/Doire Baltée river below. Covering a scant 5 ha, the majority of the Enfer d’Arvier’s output is via the local co-op, and with his single hectare in production, Danilo Thomain stands as the zone’s only independent bottler of wine. Amazingly, he is currently clearing and de-foresting another hectare’s worth of hillside above his current holdings in order to expand production, thereby reclaiming some of the long-unused but prime terrain whose viticultural records date back to the 13th century. The huge diurnal shifts between Enfer d’Arvier’s scorching days and chilly nights—“Enfer d’Arvier,” after all, means “The Hell of- Ar vier”— expresses itself in a palate tug-of-war between rapier-like acidity and thick, luscious fruit that vibrates with energy—and as a recently consumed 2008 attested, it can age beautifully. It seems like just the other day that, through a recommendation from his pal Ermes Pavese, we had yet another face of the Valle d’Aosta’s incomparable terroir revealed to us. These are the sorts of treasures we at Rosenthal live for—arresting wines made by fascinating people working in unique corners of the earth—and Thomain’s wines were an immediate success. Danilo produces only a few hundred cases of wine each vintage, and being able to purchase over half of it for the USA is a great privilege indeed.

  • Clemente VII Factsheets
    Toscana CLEMENTE VII The Castelli del Grevepesa (Castelgreve) is the largest producer of Chianti Classico, producing 15% of all Chianti Classico in the world. Castelli del Grevepesa is actually a cooperative, owned by 160-170 grape growers in the Classico area, who bring only the best grapes to the sight for production. The grapes are meticulously selected from the rugged hills at the optimum altitude of 300-350 meters. The aging facility of this cooperative is truly extraordinary. The fine grapes are grown in a nearly perfect season and the use of modern techniques, along with aging in allier barrique, results in a superb Chianti Classico. Chianti Classico is one of the most well-known wines from Italy. There are several different types of Chianti, these being Chianti, Chianti Classico, and Chianti Classico Riserva. Chianti comes from seven different regions in Tuscany, whereas Chianti Classico and Chianti Classico Riserva come from only a very small area in Tuscany. Chianti Classico has stricter guidelines as to the percentage of Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Malvasia and Trebbiano grapes in the wine, the yield from the vineyard and the grapes, and the aging requirements, therefore creating a wine which is softer, fuller, warmer, and of a higher quality, the riserva even bigger. CHIANTI CLASSICO "Clemente VII" REGION: Toscana GRAPE TYPE: Sangiovese (75% - 90%), Canaiolo (5% - 10%), Malvasia & Trebbiano (2% - 5%) COLOR: Intense, ruby red with orange reflections BOUQUET: Wonderful aromas of violets and wild cherries TASTE: Rich, dry and full-bodied. Aging in barrique gives this wine smooth flavors of vanilla and spice and a long, lingering finish.
