Last night we opened the 2016 La Spinetta Ca' DiPian Barbera D'Asti. From Castagnole Lanze, Italy.

On the nose there is strawberry, blackberry, raspberry, black cherry, licorice, spice, violets, vanilla and dried leaves.

On the palate I am getting blackberry, black cherry, plum, licorice, some menthol and it has herbaceous notes.

This wine is medium + to full bodied with medium to medium + acidity and medium + fine grippy tannins that leave you with a medium + to long red and black fruit finish. I hope everyone's new year has started off in a positive way. Please as always stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Carne Asada wine. Still nice pop of fresh blue/black fruits and just a bit of that prune/fig action. Solid little number in the low $20s.

It worked…But alcohol overpowers the fruit. Narrow. Still overall it was fine.

Solid easy drinking and wonderful. Nice linger and fresh fruit. Alcohol is a bit pronounced but it’s still comfortable in the mix.

Just ok. Sweet and acidic upfront with a more tannic finish but not a lot of complexity. Dark fruit - plum and fig.
