Giacomo Conterno is the gold standard for traditional Barolo, and this is the estate's Barbera from Cascina Francia, the famed Serralunga d'Alba vineyard that also gives the world Conterno's Barolo and Monfortino. Under Roberto Conterno the wine is aged in large oak casks like a Barolo, yielding a Barbera of uncommon depth, structure and ageworthiness. The 2012 came from a balanced, classic year and is now a maturing back-vintage, where the grape's hallmark acidity keeps everything taut while age brings out savory, earthy layers. Decant it and give it room. As serious as Barbera gets, from arguably the greatest address in the Langhe.

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.
