This is Barbera as it’s never been: grand, grounded, and utterly transcendent.
Barbera from Hallowed Ground
What happens when the world’s most legendary Barolo vineyard lends its soul to Barbera? You get this: a wine that rewrites the rules. Grown in the hallowed Cascina Francia vineyard, this Barbera has true gravitas. The nose is intoxicating black plum, dark cherry, and crushed stone. On the palate, it’s a revelation—silky, concentrated, and impossibly vibrant, carried by electric acidity.
Made with the same fastidious care as Conterno’s Barolo, aging in massive, neutral Slavonian oak botti for nearly two years, this wine is an ode to patience and precision. It is richer and more immediate than Barolo, but no less profound.
How to Enjoy
While it can age, its vibrant fruit is stunning now. Pair with rich pasta, risotto with sausage, or roasted pork.
