Grape Variety:
100% Barbera
Tasting Note:
The 2019 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Francia is all about precision power and a meticulous orderly approach that brings new intervals of increased aromatic intensity with each sip and swirl of the glass. The wine can be characterized as exceptionally direct and frank and these qualities are especially well executed in this classic vintage. Barbera is cultivated at the top and the lower parts of the Francia vineyard and this wine carries slightly more fruit weight and structure compared to the Cerretta. Francia also ends with distinctly mineral or graphite-like notes with iron or rust.
Vinification:
The legendary Barolo producer own 17 hectares and produces iconic 62,000 bottles of fine wine using Organic Viticulture.
