Barolo DOCG “Francia” originates from the historic vineyard Cascina Francia in Serralunga d’Alba, the beating heart of Giacomo Conterno’s production philosophy.
The clusters, collected manually during the harvest, are brought to the premises of the Giacomo Conterno winery, where they are crushed. The resulting grapes are sent to the press and the must is fermented in steel tanks.

It presents with a ruby red color tending towards garnet. The olfactory profile is mainly focused on intense tones of violet, dried rose, cherry, strawberry and raspberry, which combine with excellent mentholated, spicy, mineral and leather sensations. On the palate it is of absolute personality and elegance, endowed with superb and exciting power and structure, surrounded by a velvety tannin texture and extreme fineness, in association with a pleasant and measured acidity. Excellent persistence.
