Francone's Barbaresco Riserva has repeatedly scored 90+ points in Decanter's Barbaresco vintage reports. Aged 36 months in French oak casks and barrels, it shows traditional aromas of small dried berries, cassis, cola and pressed violets, with a tight, tannic structure that rewards 5 to 10 years of further cellaring.
