Giacomo Conterno, Barbera d’Alba Vigna Francia 2022, Bottle 750 ml

Giacomo Conterno’s Barbera d’Alba “Vigna Francia” 2022 is a lively and structured red wine, coming from the historic winery located in Monforte d’Alba, in the heart of the Piedmontese Langhe. made from Barbera grapes grown in the famous Francia vineyard, this wine reflects the excellence of the terroir and the winemaking mastery of the Conterno family. The vines are grown on calcareous-clayey soils with south-west exposure, following traditional and sustainable farming methods. Vinification involves fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, followed by aging in large Slavonian oak barrels for a period that allows the wine to develop complexity and harmony. The result is a wine with an intense ruby red hue. Aromas of ripe red fruit, such as cherry and plum, emerge on the nose, accompanied by spicy hints and a slight hint of vanilla. In the mouth it is full and enveloping, with a pleasant acidity typical of the grape variety, soft tannins and a long and tasty finish.
