Barbera d'Asti "Ca di Pian" DOC

A Barbera that shows what Piedmont can do when someone with real flair is at work: juicy, lively, with a spiciness that you won't soon forget.

Behind "Ca di Pian" stands Giorgio Rivetti, one of the most influential figures in modern Piedmont. Rivetti hails from Astigiano and is a core member of the so-called Barolo Boys – the generation of winemakers who redefined Piedmont from the 1980s onward. He first gained recognition with "Pin," a barrel-aged blend of Barbera and Nebbiolo that immediately earned three glasses from Gambero Rosso in 1990. His Barbaresco, made from the Gallina, Starderi, and Valeirano crus, is considered a benchmark. "Ca di Pian" is his Barbera d'Asti DOC – a wine that remains true to its roots.

On the nose, red cherries, ripe plums, and a hint of clove. On the palate, juicy and dense, with dark berries, delicate chocolate, and subtle spice. The tannins remain soft, the acidity keeps the glass lively – exactly what Barbera from Asti is known for.

Best served at 16–18 °C . Goes well with pasta al ragù, grilled sausages, or a piece of Taleggio cheese. A reliable accompaniment in the evening, even without a main meal.
