The Spinelli company is a family business. This means that everything that really matters is inside the history, deeply rooted in family, tradition, and land, and has been handed down generation to generation. For almost fifty vintages, the love for the vines and the land of Abruzzo has never changed: ‘If we are making good wine for ourselves, why not do it for everyone?’
The company was founded in 1973 by Vincenzo Spinelli. In 1983, his sons Carlo and Adriano joined the business full time. The company’s production capacity increased and the owners started to closely monitor all stages of production, from the selection of grapes through to winemaking and bottling.
Now present around the world, the Spinelli brand has refined its image, collaborated with the best Italian wine experts and intensified research to achieve maximum quality.
