Red
Francia
By Giacomo Conterno, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Grown alongside the Nebbiolo in the Francia vineyard, this Barbera is considered one of the Langhe's finest and most age-worthy examples of the grape.
Tasting notes
Perfumed and elegant, with pronounced crushed cherry, rose and floral aromas carrying through to a juicy, lively palate with a smooth mouthfeel and tannins that emerge gently on the finish.
