In a little less than a decade, Giorgio Rivetti, owner and winemaker of La Spinetta,
in Barbaresco, has become one of the leading forces in Piedmont.
He's making exciting ripe, fruit forward Nebbiolos that would give many highly rated 
New World wines a run for their money. Now he's making waves in Barolo...Rivetti is 
first and foremost a winemaker - one of the best and most innovative winemakers
in Piedmont today
