Barbera d’Alba Francia Conterno 2012

Description

Bright, clear incisive flavours. Tight-knit and edgy yet there is plenty of fruit expression nonetheless, gorgeous fruit notes of crunchy summer berry and red cherry, hints of blueberry, herb stone and rock salt. A limestone-based vineyard in the Serralunga commune that sits 450 metres above sea level, that yields wines of taut, mineral structures. Ageing is for 2 years in large used oak “Botti.”
