"The 2023 Barbera d'Asti Ca' di Pian is soft, supple and delicious. A burst of blueberry, black cherry, spice, lavender, menthol and chocolate gives the 2023 tons of immediacy and sheer appeal. This is an especially fine edition of La Spinetta's entry-level Barbera. Best of all, this is a terrific value." - Antonio Galloni, VINOUS MEDIA
Winemaker's Notes: Though the Barbera grape from Asti usually tends to be crisper and sharper (when compared to the Barbera grape from Alba), the Ca' di Pian exudes a rich concentration and relatively tame acidity, thanks to 45-year-old vines and low vineyard yields....the wine is ruby red with purple reflections. The bouquet has beautiful and complex aromas of ripe blueberry, rosehip and nectarine. The palate is mineral with chewy, with flavors of small red berries and black cherries accented by balsamic and earth notes.
Aged 12 months in a mix of new and old, medium toasted, French oak barrique.
