October 9, 2021 - En grei barbera, men litt skuffende etter en strålende '11 drukket kort tid i forveien. Var mer utviklet og mindre fruktig, mindre kompleks og konsentrert.

There is more fruit from this vineyard, higher spice tones as well. Very bright red fruits. Vibrant in acidity with the vintage.

July 15, 2015 - Visit to Giacomo Conterno: From 20 year old vines on a west facing vineyard of largely clay soil. There was only one Botti of this wine. A very different expression, one I preferred. A slightly feral, herby, wet earth, tobacco nose, with orange peel and rose petal nuances. On palate, seemingly more fruit sweetness, a more fruit-driven expression than the Francia. Brighter, sparkling, refreshing acidity. Juicy and fresh, with the flavour profile dominated by blackberries, blackcurrant and briar, with some liquorice. The alcohol is as for the Francia.
