La Spinetta Ca' di Pian Barbera d'Asti Superiore 2022
La Spinetta Ca' di Pian Barbera d'Asti Superiore 2022
The La Spinetta Ca' di Pian Barbera d'Asti Superiore 2022 is one of those all-too-rare gems, an affordable great Piedmont wine. Produced from the excellent but incredibly small 2022 harvest, it takes Barbera’s natural intensity and complexity to new heights. Made from 100% Barbera grapes, it was aged for 10 months in French oak barrels rather than the more usual Slavonian oak ones, a luxurious treatment that adds a further dimension to the wine. Like most Barbera’s, the La Spinetta Ca' di Pian Barbera d'Asti Superiore 2022 will drink well young. Unlike most Barbera’s it will age brilliantly, gaining even greater nuance.

Taste
The La Spinetta Ca' di Pian Barbera d'Asti Superiore 2022 is a deeply coloured wine, with purple reluctantly giving way to rose petal pink at the rim. The bouquet is rich and heady. Morello cherries, plums, almonds, earthy spices and a touch of alpine strawberries are all on show, tones that are reflected on the fruity, full-bodied palate. Here they are joined by prunes, black figs and red cherries, plus a layer of creamy oak. The finish is fresh and clean, with the rounded tannins given a lift by toasty vanilla spice. Drink now with mushroom risotto or creamy cheese pasta, or cellar for up to decade.
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.
