Deep ruby red. In the nose dark fruits of cherries and plums. The taste has a balanced fruit acid and soft tannins and then the dark cherries are dominant with a long aftertaste. This wine will last for a few more years.

(La Spinetta (Rivetti) Barbera d'Asti Cą di Pian) Dark red garnet color; earthy, meaty, raspberry nose, that changes to an herbaceous nose after 30 minutes in the glass; tight but tasty, pomegranite and red fruit palate with a hint of beef blood; medium finish 88+ pts.

Spicy brambly but balanced off with ripe red juicy cherries. Full and vibrant for early drinking.

Very earthy nose of mixed dark berries. Distinctive earth along with the fruit and oak on the palate overall very nice.
