From the prestigious Francia vineyard in Serralunga d’Alba, the 2020 Barbera d’Alba Vigna Francia is a striking example of what this variety can achieve in the right hands. Bursting with aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry, violet, and sweet spice, it offers a plush and vibrant palate, supported by Barbera’s hallmark acidity. Layers of dark plum, licorice, and graphite unfold, leading to a long, energetic finish with a touch of savory minerality.

Established in 1908, Giacomo Conterno is one of Italy’s most revered wine estates, known for crafting Barolo and Barbera of uncompromising quality and authenticity. Under the direction of Roberto Conterno, the winery champions a traditional approach—old-vine fruit, low yields, late harvesting, and extended maceration—to produce wines that faithfully reflect their origin. The Conterno family’s holdings include iconic crus such as Francia, Arione, and Monfortino, located in the limestone-rich hills of Serralunga d’Alba. Their wines are celebrated for their structure, depth, and exceptional aging capacity, standing as benchmarks for Piedmontese excellence.
