Description
Serious Barbera from an iconic producer, full of tension and complexity. Wild berry fruit, minty herbs, tobacco and minerals are interlaced. The intense acidity found in Conterno wines make for great pairings for richer foods.
What separates Conterno’s Barbera from the pack is its layered power and its simultaneous buoyancy. The combination is amazing, especially after 5-10 years in the cellar.
There’s an enormous amount of excitement for the 2021 vintage in Piedmont. Our tastings of the vintage support this. It’s been a year of poise, precision, and balance.
Conterno’s 2021 Barbera Francia certainly is stunning. Along with its signature density and explosive mid-palate rich complexity, there’s a verve-driven finesse. The combination of resonant depth and lift is really compelling.
