Giuseppe Rivetti(小名Pin)是阿根廷的義大利移民的第二代,他回到故鄉買了葡萄園、建立了酒廠,與他的妻子在1977年創立了LA SPINETTA(意為「山丘頂」)酒莊,它位於義大利Piedmont的Castagnole Lanze村莊,這裡是Moscato d’Asti產區的中心地帶。他認為此地的Moscato有相當良好的潛力,因此1978首先開始生產的就是單一葡萄園Biancospino的Moscato白酒,這在義大利是首開先河的創舉。

Packaged in a heavy glass bottle, this wine is held back and released at least 10 years after the harvest. The Sangiovese Il Nero di Casanova 2009 Sassontino offers good balance and ultimately tastes fresher compared to the other late-releases from this producer that I tasted at the same time. You get a good sense of dark fruit with dried blackberry and plum that is nicely fleshed out by spice, tobacco and tar. I also feel that this wine, made with Sangiovese from 50-year-old vines, has more complexity and aging potential.
