Structured Barolo of impressive depth, the 2016 Giacomo Conterno Cascina Francia layers dark cherry and blackcurrant with licorice, crushed violets, smoke and a firm spine of mineral savor. The concentration from the declassified Monfortino fruit gives the wine a dense, coiled core today, with power, tension and precision that promise a long, complex evolution in bottle.

Barolo Cascina Francia by Giacomo Conterno is a benchmark, traditionally made single‑vineyard Nebbiolo from the steep, south- to southwest-facing Francia monopole in Serralunga d’Alba, known for its powerful structure, tremendous longevity, and intensely aromatic “tar and roses” profile. Typically produced only in top vintages and aged four years in large botti, it delivers deeply layered red fruit, rose petal, licorice, tar, and mineral notes that evolve for decades in bottle, embodying the muscular, age‑worthy style of eastern Barolo.
