Giorgio Rivetti is one of the great movers in Piedmont. He is the center of the 'Barolo Boys', that group of dynamic and extremely successful winemakers: Altare, Clerico, Sandrone, Scavino etc. Giorgio Rivetti comes from Astigiano. His 'house wine' is therefore a Moscato d'Asti. In recent years, however, he has focused more on red wines. His first big hit was the 'Pin', a blend of Barbera and Nebbiolo aged in barriques. He called him Pin because everyone in the village called his father that. The Pin 1990 immediately achieved the coveted three glasses of the Gambero Rosso. After the pin, Giorgio Rivetti focused on the Barbaresco. Three truly great wines came from three different crus: the Gallina, the Starderi and the Valeirano. For the labels, he chose Dürer's rhinoceros to make it clear that his Barbaresco is a wine full of original power. It was clear that Giorgio would not miss the Barolo. He bought vineyards and built a winery near Grinzane Cavour, which he called Campé della Spinetta. This is where his Barolo Campé comes from. A wine of rare density and concentration. For the Barolo, he chose Dürer's Löwen because it is a wine that not only embodies great power, but also elegance.
