TASTING NOTES

Production

Giacomo Conterno’s Barbera d’Alba Vigna Francia hails from the historic Francia vineyard, situated in the municipality of Serralunga d’Alba, from which the winery produces some of its most iconic wines. The Barbera grapes come from selected plots, cultivated with very low yields and great attention to vineyard management. Harvesting is done by hand and vinification follows the winery’s traditional principles: fermentation with skin contact in vats, without the use of technological interventions. Ageing takes place in large oak barrels, where the wine matures slowly, acquiring depth and complexity whilst retaining the typical varietal freshness.

Organoleptic Characteristics

On the nose, it offers intense aromas of ripe red fruit, cherry and black cherry, accompanied by notes of plum, sweet spices and subtle balsamic undertones. On the palate, it is rich and enveloping, with a pronounced acidity that underpins the structure, tannins that are present yet well-integrated, and a long finish. The mouthfeel is full, energetic and balanced, with a juicy and deep finish.

Occasion and Pairing

A wine of great character and versatility, suitable for both formal dinners and more informal gatherings. It pairs perfectly with traditional Piedmontese dishes, pasta with meat sauce, red meats, roasts, cured meats and mature cheeses.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16–18°C.

Cantina Contini has grown and matured like the wines and successes that have made it great, through the passion and commitment of no less than four generations. Almost 120 years old, the company is located in the Tirso Valley and on the slopes of Mount Arci with about 100 hectares of property. Represented by Vernaccia di Oristano, it has been joined over the years by other important productions such as: the historic Nieddera variety, Vermentino and Cannonau, Karmis, Attilio and the organic Mamaioa. Today, the company continues to evolve through the use of new vinification techniques, identifying the wines as memories and moments of nostalgia. Since around 2010, the Contini company has converted in part to organic farming, with the desire to listen to the needs of consumers who are increasingly attentive to the quality and authenticity of the products. The grapes are cultivated according to the dictates of uncontaminated agriculture, with a very low level of sulphites and the use of natural substances in the vineyards and in the various vinification processes. Name and address of producer/distributor: Azienda Vinicola Contini s.p.a., Via Genova n.48-50, 09072 Cabras, Oristano. Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
