Introduced from the 2020 vintage alongside Starderi, Barbaresco Albesani comes from the Albesani MGA, whose soil — rich in limestone, clay and silt — is similar to the neighboring Gallina vineyard. Production is limited to around 3,000 bottles, with the wine showing sweet red fruit, floral and toasted notes typical of Francone's Barbaresco crus.
Albesani's limestone-rich soil, close cousin to Gallina, gives Francone's rendition a similar elegance in a rarer bottling.
