Barbera d`Alba Francia Giacomo Conterno Magnum 2016

HED50694 150cl 15.5%
One of two single-vineyard Barbera produced by G. Conterno. The Francia generally displays a greater richness and opulence compared to the Ceretta. Voluminous in the mouth with superb fruit and fresh acidity. Barbera is a brilliantly versatile food match so pairs as well with pizza as with mushroom risotto.

Giacomo Conterno

Giacomo Conterno

Founded in the 1920s, Giacomo Conterno is an iconic Piedmont estate currently owned and operated by Roberto, grandson of winery founder and namesake. Giacomo was assisted by his brother Aldo Conterno for many years before Aldo left to establish his own eponymous winery, pursuing a different style of winemaking altogether. 

Along with Gaja and Bruno Giacosa, the winery is considered to be one of the premier producers of fine Barolo. Cascina Francia and Monfortino (only made in select vintages and aged for up to seven years before release) are Conterno's top wines when it comes to Nebbiolo, but the team also make excellent Barbera a'Alba. The Nebbiolo are traditional expressions of the Piedmont terroir in many ways - long-lived and earthy with an elegant savoury character to match alluring ripe red and black fruit notes.
