Barbera d'Alba, DOC, Cascina Francia, 2013
Deep bright red fruit, lithe raspberry and bramble flavours with a lively, salty sapid edge, excellent richness too whilst maintaining shape and definition. A limestone-based vineyard in the Serralunga commune that sits 450 metres above sea level, that yields wines of taut, mineral structures. Ageing is for 2 years in large used oak “Botti.”
critic reviews
Utterly magnificent in the glass, 2013 Barbera d’Alba Francia presents a rich, almost demi-glace like texture that envelops the palate. Sweet red cherry, pomegranate, hard candy, rose petal and wild flowers all flesh out effortlessly. The 2013 has the energy of a cool, late-ripening vintage, but with striking inner sweetness and depth. Elegant, restrained and sophisticated, the 2013 is another real gem from Roberto Conterno. This is just about as majestic as Barbera gets.
