"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."

"Dark ruby magenta, the 2020 Barbera D™Asti Ca Di Pian was raised in second- and third-use French oak barrels. It™s highly aromatic, with loads sweet perfume of mixed red and black berries, ripe peaches, and violets. Medium-bodied, it moves seamlessly to the palate, with decadent ripe fruit and its floral notes lasting on the finish along with a bit of vanilla. Drink over the next 4-6 years."
