Vinous Media (92)- "The 2021 Barbera d'Asti Superiore Bionzo is redolent of blackberry, gravel, incense, licorice, graphite and dark spice. As always, the Bionzo is a brooding Barbera from Asti although these days the wines aren't as huge as they were just a few years ago."
The Wine Advocate (90)- "The La Spinetta 2020 Barbera d'Asti Superiore Bionzo sees fruit from vineyards in Costigliole d'Asti. This wine has a stemmy, almost vegetal quality with lots of rosemary and thyme, green curry and black pepper folded within dark, full-bodied fruit. It shows an inky color with medium-plus concentration."
James Suckling (92)- "A pretty and edgy barbera with dried berry and dark plum character with some earth. It's medium-bodied with firm tannins and a fresh finish. Drink now."
