The Barbera d'Alba DOC "Francia" by Giacomo Conterno is one of the most representative wines of the oenological mastery of one of the most prestigious wineries in Piedmont. This wine, coming from the famous Francia vineyard located in the heart of the Langhe region, is the result of a scrupulous selection of the best Barbera grapes, grown with methods that respect tradition and the environment, reflecting the philosophy of absolute quality that guides the Conterno family for generations.
At sight, Barbera d'Alba "Francia" has an intense ruby red color, which announces the richness and complexity of the wine. On the nose, intense and enveloping aromas of ripe red fruit, such as cherries and plums, immediately emerge, enriched by spicy notes and a light touch of vanilla and chocolate, a distinctive sign of aging in high quality wood.
In the mouth, the wine demonstrates extraordinary intensity and depth, with a perfect balance between the lively acidity typical of the Barbera grape and the soft and velvety tannic structure. The refinement in oak barrels not only enriches the aromatic profile of the wine but also contributes to its incredible flavor complexity, which ends with a long and persistent finish, characterized by a pleasant freshness.
Ideal in combination with robust and tasty dishes, such as grilled red meats, game dishes and mature cheeses, Barbera d'Alba "Francia" by Giacomo Conterno is also an excellent meditation wine, capable of evolving and improving further with the passage of the years in the bottle.
