Jeb Dunnuck (92)- "The 2023 Barbera D'Asti Superiore Ca' Di Pian pours an opaque red/magenta hue and is sourced from a blend of 18 vineyards across three zones. Aromatically, it’s ripe and seductive, with preserved blackberries, candied violets, blue fruit, sweet herbs, and mocha. Medium to full-bodied, it offers vibrant acidity with supple, silky tannins and a generous finish. This overdelivers for the price. Drink 2026-2032."
Vinous Media (90)- "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."
Jeb Dunnuck (90)- "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."
