Giacomo Conterno Cascina Francia Barbera d'Alba 2012

$72

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. Unlike Conterno's 2013 masculine vintage, the 2012 Francia is a more refined and delicate Barbera with ripe raspberries, red cherries, blackberries and rich floral notes of roses and carnations. The acidity is superbly balanced with the fruit. This is classy stuff.

Really expressive soured red fruit. Hints of Violet's and an iron-ey overtone. Great stuff.

Intriguing citrus rind notes, floral and red currant. Lithe, bright with fine grained tannin. Beautiful with lunch!

An amazingly smooth Barbera to enjoy - with or without a pairing - a fabulous recommendation by Master Sommelier Bobby Stuckey. After dinner I'm looking to purchase this to enjoy at home.
