Giacomo Conterno, Barolo Francia, 2021

Giacomo Conterno's Francia vineyard produces one of Barolo's most coveted single-vineyard bottlings from this legendary traditionalist producer. Founded in 1908, the Conterno family has maintained unwavering commitment to classic Barolo winemaking—long macerations, large Slavonian oak casks, and extended aging that creates wines of extraordinary longevity.

The Francia vineyard sits in Serralunga d'Alba's prime southwest-facing slopes. Conterno treats this as their flagship single-vineyard expression, representing the pinnacle of their traditional approach. The 2021 vintage showcases the energy and precision that defines great Barolo in exceptional years.
