Giacomo Conterno Cascina Francia Barbera d'Alba 2011
GUARANTEED BEST PROVENANCE: IMPORTED BY AIR FROM ITALY AND STOCKED IN CALIFORNIA Conterno makes powerful Barbera wines that are truly world-class wines. You pay more for these wines than other Barbera wines from the region, and after one taste you'll understand why. The 2011 Conterno Barbera Cascina Francia is in the same grand class as the 2012 Francia, with an intensely rich nose of red berries, red cherries and sweet floral notes of red rose and pink carnation, and fine acidity. This is deliciously sensual wine today, but you can cellar it for another 10+ years if you're more patient.

Intense. Concentrated. Balanced though. Plush tannin, loads of dark hedgerow fruit. Truffles. Spoils one for any other Barbera!

The acid is showing a bit too much, but there is a velvet swank ness to the mid palate that is making me happy

If someone believes that Barbera can not deliver great wines: try this magnificent Barbera from the Francia vineyard. Roberto is a very talented winemaker!
