La Spinetta Ca di Pian 2023 Barbera d'Asti Superiore DOCG Biologico

La Spinetta – Cà di Pian 2023 Barbera d'Asti Superiore DOCG Organic

The Cà di Pian 2023 is one of the most historic and benchmark interpretations of Barbera d'Asti Superiore DOCG, created by the renowned La Spinetta estate (Rivetti family). Produced from 100% Barbera organically grown in Castagnole delle Lanze and Costigliole d'Asti, this red wine embodies the winery's signature philosophy: low yields, organic farming, and masterful oak maturation to elevate the natural richness and noble character of the grape.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Deep, dense ruby red with vivid dark purple highlights.
• Nose: Broad, ripe, and expressive bouquet featuring intense notes of blueberry, blackberry, plum, and black cherry, integrated with oak-derived accents of vanilla, cocoa, sweet tobacco, and herbs.
• Palate: Full, plush, and juicy on the palate. Barbera's signature vibrant acidity balances harmoniously with velvety tannins and a generous body, leading to a long, persistent, and pleasantly spicy finish.

Food Pairings

Its substantial body and commanding personality make it an ideal partner for hearty land-based cuisine:

• Rich pasta courses such as traditional Agnolotti del Plin, meat ragù, and porcini mushroom or truffle risottos.
• Grilled steaks, roasted meats, braised beef, and wild game stews.
• Artisanal charcuterie boards and mature hard cheeses (such as Castelmagno or aged Toma).
