**"There are dreams that you nurture for years and years, and they seem so distant that they almost feel impossible to achieve. Then, working day by day, the years pass, and finally, you see the dream slowly coming true. For decades, we have been cultivating the lands of Venegazzù, knowing that behind Villa Spineda, extraordinary Merlots were produced since the 19th century. So, after years of studies and research, in 2004, we decided to take action by planting a new Merlot to see if it could excite us as it was once said to do.
This is how SPINEDA was born, an extraordinary selection of Merlot, created in honor of the Treviso family that, in the mid-1700s, began to enhance the Venegazzù area, where the first Merlot vines were planted and cultivated in Italy.
A 2-hectare plot (replanted in 2004), which, thanks to its soil and location, with careful cultivation and extremely low yields (less than 1kg per plant), truly produces a fruit of extraordinary elegance.
The label reflects the deep connection to our land, featuring an extract from an 18th-century Napoleonic map of the Spineda lands, with vineyards and rustic buildings that are now an integral part and the heart of our winery.
Spineda reveals itself to the nose with subtlety and then unfolds on the first sip with tension and power that are never overbearing, as only great wines can do
