2020 Giacomo Conterno - Barbera d'Alba Vigna Francia (1.5 L - Magnum)Colour : Red Producer : Giacomo Conterno Label Name : Barbera d'Alba Vigna Francia Country : Italy Region : Piedmont Sub Region : Barbera d'Alba Variety : Barbera Vintage : 2020 Capacity : 1. 5 L Magnum Rating : Falstaff 94 Wine Spectator 92 Vinous 95 Tasting Note : The 2020 Barbera dAlba Vigna Francia is fabulous. Rich and expansive, with tremendous presence, the 2020 is positively stellar. Super ripe dark cherry, lavender, spice and pomegranate all

It is an exquisite example of Pichon-Lalande with the Merlot component giving the wine a coffee/chocolatey/cherry component to go along with the Cabernet Sauvignon's and Cabernet Franc's complex blackberry/cassis fruit

represents a unique chapter in the estate's century-long Blanc history

Best from 2027 through 2050

The palate is full-bodied and well balanced
