La Spinetta Wine Dinner
An exclusive evening with one of Piedmont's most celebrated winemakers.
On Wednesday 17 June, Giorgio Rivetti of La Spinetta joins Larry Cherubino at City Cellar for an intimate wine dinner.
Founded in Piedmont in 1977, La Spinetta is renowned for its masterful expression of indigenous grapes and elegant, age-worthy wines. As pioneers of single-vineyard Barbera, makers of celebrated Barbaresco and Barolo, and the house behind the iconic rhino label, La Spinetta has helped shape the modern identity of Piedmont. Giorgio is also recognised as one of the original Barolo Boys, who helped cement the region’s reputation around the world.
Seven wines on pour, including Linea Retta — the joint project between Giorgio and Larry, built on a shared vineyard-first philosophy — and the Contratto Metodo Classico sparkling range. Paired with a seasonal menu by Ben Jacob, from Masseria Restaurant, designed to bring the character of each wine into focus.
Wines on pour:
- 2013 Contratto Special Cuvée
- 2022 Linea Retta Timorasso
- 2022 La Spinetta Langhe Nebbiolo
- 2020 La Spinetta Pin

Now led by winemaker Ben Cane and Sarah Date, the estate continues to evolve under a thoughtful, minimal-intervention approach in both vineyard and winery, bringing fresh energy to the next chapter of Duke’s Vineyard.
