Average vine age of 40 years, grown at an altitude of 300m in Castagnole delle Lanze, Costigliole d’Asti and Montegrosso d’Asti. Pretty bloody good Barbera.
At a pinch you could point at the alcohol warmth here but in all other respects this is picture perfect. It combines grunt and polish so skilfully. Leather, boysenberry, red liquorice, dried herb and choc notes put on quite a show. Absolutely dustily delicious but with a firm, dry, tea-leaf seriousness too. I’d buy this in a heartbeat, personally.

Notes
La Spinetta Barbera d’Asti Cà di Pian comes from vines with an average age of 40 years, grown on calcareous marl soils at an altitude of 300m in Castagnole delle Lanze, Costigliole d’Asti and Montegrosso d’Asti. Maceration and alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled vats for an average period of nine days. Malolactic fermentation takes place in used French oak barrels (part new), where the wine is aged for 13 months. It’s then aged in bottle for at least another three months prior to release. It’s violet-red in colour and shows hints of red fruits, herbs and wild violets. It’s extremely elegant and balanced on the palate, with fresh and powerful flavours. There are intense aromas of blackberry and morello cherries. This wine is truly captivating, yet it remains fresh and extremely versatile. – La Spinetta
