La Spinetta Ca' di Pian Barbera d'Asti Superiore 2023
A brilliant example of Barbera from one of Piedmont’s great names. The 2023 Ca’ di Pian is packed with juicy dark fruit, lively freshness, and just the right touch of spice — deliciously versatile at the table and seriously good value.
Taste
The 2023 Ca’ di Pian Barbera d’Asti Superiore is bright and expressive, brimming with ripe cherry, plum, and blackberry fruit. There’s a lifted floral note, a hint of spice, and a touch of mocha from time in oak. The palate is sleek and concentrated, with Barbera’s hallmark acidity giving drive and precision. Fine, polished tannins frame the fruit, leading to a long, savoury finish with a twist of graphite and wild herbs. Approachable now with food, but it will gain further depth over the next 5–7 years.
About the Producer
La Spinetta is a renowned wine producer that’s best known for its excellent range of Piedmont wines. Founded in 1977, it’s the owner of several prestigious vineyards in Barbaresco and Barolo, but wine insiders know that their Barbera wines such as the Ca' di Pian Barbera d'Asti Superiore are where the value lies. La Spinetta are great advocates of the old vines, and to help them thrive and to produce wine sustainably, these are treated biodynamically, and grapes are harvested by hand – no mean feat given the aspects of some of their vineyards. The winery is state of the art and houses innovative rotating stainless-steel tanks which facilitate extraction while giving the winemaking team complete control. The La Spinetta wines are a joy, and every Italian wine lover should get to know them.
