Descrizione

Francia Barolo DOCG in Jeroboam format expresses, with Giacomo Conterno’s typical restraint, a broad yet measured profile: on the nose it opens with tones of ripe red fruit, Morello cherry and underbrush, then glides into floral notes of faded rose and hints of sweet spice, licorice and damp earth. The bouquet remains clear and deep without tipping into excess, showing a balance between freshness and maturity that invites the first impression and further exploration of the sip.

On the palate the tannic structure is tight and well defined, supported by a vibrant acidity that keeps the wine lively and well structured; the sensation is one of compactness and length, with pleasantly persistent aromatic returns. The Jeroboam format underscores its aptitude for aging: opening it after a few hours of decanting allows you to appreciate its details. It naturally pairs with structured meat dishes, braised preparations or aged cheeses, and should be served at a controlled temperature to fully appreciate its complexity.

Winery history

The Conterno family has been connected to the Langhe for generations. The "Monfortino" bottling has become an icon of the estate, and the practice of bottling Barolo Riserva has documented historical roots. Over the years the estate has strengthened its ties to the Cascina Francia vineyard, and management has passed from generation to generation to the family's current steward.

Production philosophy

Traditional approach in the vineyard and the cellar, with a strong focus on expressing each individual cru: extended fermentations and macerations, use of large traditional casks for ageing, and reluctance to rush the winemaking schedule. The estate favours patience and disciplined vineyard care to produce long-lived wines.

Terroir and vineyards

The estate operates in the heart of the Langhe, with vineyards and holdings between Monforte d'Alba and Serralunga d'Alba. The Cascina Francia vineyard has historically been at the center of its most prestigious production and supplies grapes for the area's typical Barolo and Barbera.
