A fantasic Barbera from one of the giants of Piemonte. The estates celebrated traditional winemaking skills are evident in Giacomo's great-grandson Roberto's version of this affordable, "common" wine. A profound example of its varietal and underlying terroir, this Barbera d’Alba Cascina Francia is a terrific effort. Its silky aromas meld seamlessly onto the palate, where vibrant layers of dark fruit come to life. As it sits in the glass, licorice, tar, smoke and mineral notes become more prominent, adding further complexity to this velety wine. Long, sweet and pure, its essence grows further with food. Enjoyed with Mario Batali's "Weeds with Sausage". Of course; an Albeisa bottle.
