  • La Spinona’s vineyards are rooted in the finest hillsides of Barbaresco and Novello, with sun-drenched slopes and a microclimate shaped by the Tanaro River. These natural conditions, combined with meticulous handwork, give birth to wines of precision and elegance — from the finesse of Barbaresco and Nebbiolo to the power of Barolo. Guided by a philosophy of respect for nature, the Berutti family cultivates their vines sustainably, using natural fertilization from their Fassona cattle and low-impact treatments. The result: wines that embody the soul of their land, vintage after vintage.

  • La Spinona’s story begins in 1920, when Giovanni Berutti purchased his first vineyard in the Faset cru of Barbaresco. From that single hectare, five generations have grown the estate into one of the region’s most respected wineries. The family’s passion has endured through time, expanding their vineyards, opening to the world, and carrying forward the memory of Baica, the faithful Spinone Italiano dog who inspired the winery’s name and logo. Today, Pietropaolo continues his family’s century-long dedication to Barbaresco, crafting wines that honor history while embracing innovation.

  • La Spinona: Tradition Meets Innovation

In the heart of Barbaresco, the Berutti family cultivates 24 hectares of vines across four historic farmsteads. From Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, to Chardonnay, each vineyard expresses the richness of Piedmont’s terroir. Alongside the vines, the family raises Fassona cattle, embodying a sustainable approach where tradition and innovation walk hand in hand. Today, fifth-generation winemaker Pietropaolo and his father Gualtiero continue this legacy, blending deep respect for the land with a forward-looking vision.

La Spinona’s story begins in 1920, when Giovanni Berutti purchased his first vineyard in the Faset cru of Barbaresco. From that single hectare, five generations have grown the estate into one of the region’s most respected wineries. The family’s passion has endured through time, expanding their vineyards, opening to the world, and carrying forward the memory of Baica, the faithful Spinone Italiano dog who inspired the winery’s name and logo. Today, Pietropaolo continues his family’s century-long dedication to Barbaresco, crafting wines that honor history while embracing innovation.

La Spinona: Tradition Meets Innovation

In the heart of Barbaresco, the Berutti family cultivates 24 hectares of vines across four historic farmsteads. From Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, to Chardonnay, each vineyard expresses the richness of Piedmont’s terroir. Alongside the vines, the family raises Fassona cattle, embodying a sustainable approach where tradition and innovation walk hand in hand. Today, fifth-generation winemaker Pietropaolo and his father Gualtiero continue this legacy, blending deep respect for the land with a forward-looking vision.
