Giacomo Conterno, Barolo Francia, 2020
Francia—formerly known as Cascina Francia—is Giacomo Conterno’s flagship vineyard, a sweeping amphitheater of clay-limestone soils in Serralunga d’Alba. This site produces some of the most powerful and long-lived Barolo in the region. In the hands of Roberto Conterno, it becomes a masterwork of precision and restraint: long maceration, large botti, and no compromise.
The 2020 vintage balances ripeness with freshness, delivering a wine of immense structure and clarit that will drink just slightly earlier than the 2021.
