🍷 Giacomo Conterno Barbera d’Alba ‘Cascina Francia’
Italy | Piemonte | Barbera d’Alba DOC | Red Wine
Grapes: 100% Barbera
Style: Structured, Deep & Profound
✨ From one of Piemonte’s most legendary producers, this Barbera is a bold, terroir-driven red that speaks of elegance, intensity, and balance.
👁️ In the Glass:
Deep purple hue with inky intensity and vivid clarity.
👃 On the Nose:
A dense and expressive bouquet of ripe black cherries, dark plums, and grilled herbs, lifted by a smoky undertone and earthy minerality.
🎯 On the Palate:
Silky yet powerful. Waves of black cherry, wild berries, and savoury herbs glide effortlessly across the palate, supported by soft, velvety tannins. Hints of smoke and spice add further depth. A medium-length finish leaves a lasting impression of purity and finesse.
🍽️ Food Pairing:
Pairs beautifully with braised meats, rich pasta dishes like agnolotti al plin, aged cheeses, or a wild mushroom risotto.
⏳ Ageing Potential:
Already drinking with remarkable poise, but will develop added complexity and silkiness over the next 8–12 years.
💎 Why You’ll Love It:
This is Barbera elevated to rare heights — intense yet graceful, classic yet compellingly individual. A collector’s Barbera with a soul as deep as its colour.
