The 2020 Barolo Campe is La Spinetta’s signature Barolo—opulent, structured, and unmistakably modern in style, yet increasingly refined with each passing vintage. Grown at high elevation in Grinzane Cavour on calcareous soils, the fruit reaches optimal ripeness while retaining aromatic lift. The 2020 vintage, marked by a balanced growing season, offers richness with precision. Aged for 24 months in French oak barriques (approximately 20% new), followed by additional time in bottle, the wine opens with intense aromas of black cherry, rose petal, licorice, menthol, crushed stone, and sweet spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and layered, with a velvety mouthfeel, firm but polished tannins, and a long, mineral-laced finish.

Bruno, Carlo, and Giorgio Rivetti are the three brothers behind the famed La Spinetta estate, which was founded by their parents in 1977. La Spinetta has become a modern Italian superstar winery, producing some of Piemonte's most delicious wines at their main estate in Castagnole Lanze and their newer 'Campè' estate (acquired in 2000) in Grinzane Cavour. Enologist Stephane Mazzetta, who settled in at La Spinetta several years ago after working at other top Langhe wineries, implements and oversees the work in La Spinetta’s stunning, first-class cellars that handle grapes from 100 hectares of vineyards. Three Barbarescos - Gallina, Valeirano, and Starderi - are produced as well as a single Barolo, a Moscato Passito called 'Oro,' and several others. In 2001 the brothers bought 65 hectares more and established the budding 'Casanova' estate, where they were excited to develop three pure Sangiovese wines to express the inimitable land of Toscana just as they had done at home in Piemonte.
