La Spinetta is an Italian wine producer based in Piedmont, specifically operating within the Barbaresco DOCG appellation. The estate produces both still and sparkling wines, working with traditional Piedmontese grape varieties across different denominations in the region.

Barbaresco DOCG, where La Spinetta operates, is one of Piedmont's most significant wine appellations, located in the Langhe hills southeast of Alba. The region is renowned for producing some of Italy's finest Nebbiolo-based wines, which must be aged for a minimum of two years including nine months in wood. The denomination covers the communes of Barbaresco, Neive, and Treiso, where the calcareous-clay soils and favorable microclimate create ideal conditions for Nebbiolo cultivation.

The producer's current range demonstrates the diversity of Piedmontese winemaking, spanning from the structured red wines of Barbaresco made with Nebbiolo to the delicate, low-alcohol Moscato d'Asti DOCG produced from Muscat grapes. Their Barbaresco Gallina represents the serious, age-worthy style typical of this prestigious denomination, while their Moscato d'Asti Bricco Quaglia showcases the region's expertise with aromatic white varieties.

Piemonte (Piedmont) occupies most of northwestern Italy, bordering Switzerland in the north and France in the west and almost reaching the Mediterranean coast. Its capital and largest city is Turin (Torino).

In the wine world, Piemonte is best known for the twin titans of Barolo and Barbaresco, along with other popular red wines made from Barbera and Dolcetto, the white Gavi, and sparkling Asti.

It has more DOCGs (17) and DOCs (42) than any other region (see maps: Asti area, Langhe, Monferrato, and northern), but no IGPs. In 2016, Piemonte produced 2.5 million hl (28.3 million cases) of wine, the majority of it (55%) red and 83% at the DOP level. The region’s primary grape varieties are Barbera (31%), Moscato (22%), Dolcetto (13%), and Nebbiolo (10%).
