TASTING NOTES

Production

Giacomo Conterno’s Barolo Vigna Francia comes from the vineyard of the same name, situated in the municipality of Serralunga d’Alba, one of the most prestigious crus in the Langhe. The grapes are exclusively Nebbiolo, sourced from historic vineyards cultivated with low yields and great agronomic rigour. Harvesting is done by hand and takes place at full ripeness. Vinification follows the winery’s traditional method: spontaneous fermentation with long maceration on the skins in wooden vats, without any corrective interventions. Ageing takes place for several years in large oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop structure, elegance and a deep sense of terroir, whilst maintaining a more direct and defined style compared to the Monfortino.

Organoleptic Characteristics

On the nose, it is intense and precise, with aromas of ripe red fruits, cherry and raspberry, accompanied by floral notes of rose and violet. This is followed by hints of spices, liquorice, tobacco and subtle mineral nuances. On the palate, it is powerful yet harmonious, with firm, well-defined tannins, a lively freshness and a long, consistent flavour progression. The finish is persistent, elegant and deeply expressive of the cru.

Occasion and Pairing

A wine of great structure and character, ideal for special occasions and formal lunches or dinners. It pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, roasts, braised meats, game and long-aged cheeses.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16–18°C.

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.
