Ca' di Pian is a modern classic among Barbera d'Asti wines – spirited, fruity and at the same time deeply rooted in the terroir of Monferrato. The grapes come from old vineyards in Castagnole and Costigliole d'Asti, where the Barbera finds optimal conditions on calcareous marl soils in a sunny south and south-west exposure. The wine is vinified in the classic way: temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel, followed by around 12 months of ageing in used French barriques.

Deep, bright purple colour in the glass. Juicy black cherry, plum, violets, a hint of liquorice and subtle roasted aromas on the nose. Juicy and supple on the palate, with ripe fruit, lively acidity and fine-meshed tannins, always focussed, with clear fruit expression and vibrant energy. The finish is fresh, animating and supported by mineral length. A Barbera full of character with depth and esprit – modern in style, but firmly anchored in the Piedmontese tradition. SUPERIORE.DE

"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." Vinous
