This is the Barbera that connoisseurs hunt down: Giacomo Conterno's Cascina Francia bottling, made from Barbera vines in the same legendary Serralunga d'Alba vineyard that gives the estate its iconic Barolo and Monfortino. Run by Roberto Conterno in strict traditionalist fashion, Conterno treats Barbera with the same seriousness as Nebbiolo, aging it in large oak casks for a wine of remarkable structure and longevity. The 2009 is now a mature back-vintage, where Barbera's vivid acidity keeps it fresh while age has layered in savory, earthy complexity. Among the very greatest expressions of the grape anywhere. Decant and treat it with the respect it deserves.

More about Giacomo Conterno

The Piedmont legend. Giovanni Conterno opened a tavern in 1908, made Barolo for it, and the first Riserva changed everything. His son Giacomo took over in 1934, and the estate's been making world-class Nebbiolo ever since. Monfortino Riserva is aged seven years minimum in huge botti—old school done perfectly.
