Giacomo Conterno, Barolo Francia , 2020 (3L)
Francia is the legendary Serralunga d’Alba vineyard that Giacomo Conterno has turned into one of Barolo’s greatest single-cru bottlings. South-facing, with limestone-rich soils, this site produces wines of intensity, minerality, and stern grace—especially under the steady hand of Roberto Conterno.
The 2020 vintage brings exceptional balance: bright red cherry and pomegranate meet tar, rose petals, and crushed herbs. Tannins are powerful but beautifully integrated, and the acidity carries the wine with lift and clarity. There’s no flash here—just uncompromising Nebbiolo handled with precision and humility.
In 3L, this wine isn’t just impressive—it’s built for the long haul. Expect 30–40+ years of evolution, with increasing complexity as the dense core unwinds and reveals layer after layer of Serralunga soul.
Perfect for landmark celebrations or long-term aging. Decant if drinking early (you’ll want hours), or tuck it away and let it become one of the true pillars of your cellar.
