Tasting notes

"The Giacomo Conterno 2018 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Francia is showing nicely now thanks to the crisp fruit, cherry and balsam aromas that are coaxed out of Barbera grapes in the cooler growing seasons. Warmer temperatures before harvest help to bring out more of the purple and black-toned aromas you expect of this variety, with a little more fruit volume as well. In all, this vintage offers a more tapered approach that sets it apart from the richer 2019 edition and gives this wine a little more accessibility overall." 93/100 Monica Larner, Robert Parker, Dec 2021

"This is very open with juicy fruit and orange peel undertones. Succulent. Full and layered. Yummy fruit. Drink now." 93/100, James Suckling, Aug 2023
