SPECIFICATIONS

TASTING NOTES

Fermentation takes place in Austrian wooden vats made by Stockinger, using the highest quality wood without toasting, in order to preserve the intrinsic qualities of the must. Subsequently, the wine undergoes a period of aging in wooden barrels of various sizes and ages. It presents a pale garnet red color, enriched by ruby reflections and enviable transparency. On the nose, it offers great strength and aromatic complexity, opening with fragrances of red fruits like cherries and plums, accompanied by notes of withered flowers, spices, tobacco, and a slight minerality. With aeration, hints of leather and wet earth also emerge. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with present yet silky tannins. The freshness is well-balanced by good acidity, which provides equilibrium. The flavors reflect the aromatic bouquet, offering long persistence and complexity that evolves over time. It pairs beautifully with red meat dishes, braises, game, and aged cheeses, and is also ideal to enjoy on its own to appreciate all its nuances. The Barolo Vigna Francia by Giacomo Conterno tells the story of the territory and its tradition, making it perfect for those seeking a rich and engaging tasting experience. Bottle aging adds further depth and complexity, making it a wine to be kept for special occasions. The ideal serving temperature is 18°-20°C.

THE WINERY

Conterno

In the municipality of Monforte d'Alba, in the Piedmont countryside, lies the Conterno Winery. Here, the family of the same name that founded the winery is committed to producing and bottling its Barolo in search of the best balance and perfect quality. The winery's constant work has allowed it to evolve into the great establishment it is today, where the oldest traditions are still carefully followed, alongside the most modern and avant-garde techniques, to offer high-quality Piedmontese wines and unmistakably stylish red wines from Piedmont. Since it was founded, the fame of Conterno wines has spread throughout the area, giving the winery a meteoric rise. The success, however, has not affected the stable foundations of the family, which still works together in its production chain today. Their strengths remain the same: care for tradition, a search for expression of the terroir and a deep respect for what Piedmontese nature has to offer. Name and address of producer/distributor: Conterno - Via Ginestra, 1, 12065 Monforte d'Alba (CN). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
