This vertical tasting of Giacomo Conterno's Barbera d'Alba Cascina Francia was a poignant reminder that Piedmont is more than Barolo and Barbaresco, as great as those wines are. The Conterno family purchased Cascina Francia in 1974 and immediately planted the vineyard with Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and Freisa, the typical complement of Piedmontese grapes at the time. The first vintage from Cascina Francia, a steep hillside vineyard in Serralunga was 1978. The Barolos from this site are of course among the most iconic wines anywhere in the world, but the Barbera is equally deserving of attention.
