Description and technical sheet
The Barolo DOCG Francia by Giacomo Conterno is a symbol of excellence in the winemaking tradition of the Langhe. This wine is produced by the prestigious Giacomo Conterno estate, a name synonymous with quality and authenticity. The Nebbiolo grapes used for this Barolo come from the Francia vineyard, located in Serralunga d'Alba, characterized by calcareous-clay soil that imparts extraordinary complexity and structure to the wine. Harvesting is strictly manual, ensuring the selection of the best grapes. Fermentation takes place in large oak vats, with careful maceration on the skins to extract the maximum tannins and aromas. Aging occurs in oak barrels for about 48 months, a period that allows the wine to develop unique depth and refinement.
Barolo DOCG Francia: Tasting Notes
The Barolo DOCG Francia presents an intense garnet red color, heralding its complexity. The nose is rich and enveloping, with notes of ripe red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, followed by floral scents of rose and violet. The aromatic profile is completed by nuances of sweet spices, tobacco, leather, and a slight touch of balsamic herbs. On the palate, the wine is structured and powerful, with silky and well-integrated tannins that give a velvety sensation. The balanced freshness and acidity offer a long and persistent finish, characterized by notes of licorice and a slight minerality. The Barolo Francia 2018 by Giacomo Conterno is perfect for accompanying red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses, making every meal an unforgettable and refined experience.
