La Spinetta is an iconic winery in the Monferrato subregion of Italy's Piedmont. This wine blends Barbera and Nebbiolo grapes grown throughout the Monferrato area to create a wine with vibrant, food-friendly acidity and firm tannins to add that final touch to a special dinner occasion. With flavors of sour cherry on the nose, the palate is generous and the finish is long with nuances of clove and oak. A great introduction to both the wines of this great producer and the key varieties of the region.
