While Barbera is fruitier and less tannic than Nebbiolo and is known for being Piedmont's "everyday" wine, this is nevertheless a Conterno bottle, driven less by its sweet fruit than its soil-driven brawn and 20 months in oak. The 2022 ‘Francia’ Barbera is full of ripe red fruit and bramble flavors, noted with earth spice, crushed rock, and a strong mineral presence. Notes of chewy black cherries, fresh herbs, and leathery undertones dominate this aromatic bottle. Structured, and acid-driven, this wine seriously overdelivers for the price and is a solid example of one of Piedmont's finest!
