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.

Cantina Contini has grown and matured like the wines and successes that have made it great, through the passion and commitment of no less than four generations. Almost 120 years old, the company is located in the Tirso Valley and on the slopes of Mount Arci with about 100 hectares of property. Represented by Vernaccia di Oristano, it has been joined over the years by other important productions such as: the historic Nieddera variety, Vermentino and Cannonau, Karmis, Attilio and the organic Mamaioa. Today, the company continues to evolve through the use of new vinification techniques, identifying the wines as memories and moments of nostalgia. Since around 2010, the Contini company has converted in part to organic farming, with the desire to listen to the needs of consumers who are increasingly attentive to the quality and authenticity of the products. The grapes are cultivated according to the dictates of uncontaminated agriculture, with a very low level of sulphites and the use of natural substances in the vineyards and in the various vinification processes. Name and address of producer/distributor: Azienda Vinicola Contini s.p.a., Via Genova n.48-50, 09072 Cabras, Oristano. Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
