About this wine
Francia is Giacomo Conterno’s single-vineyard Barolo from Serralunga d’Alba. Cascina Francia was acquired in 1974 and first vinified in 1978; the shorter Francia name has appeared on Barolo labels since 2010. Long skin contact and maturation in large oak casks define its traditional style. Fermentation is temperature-controlled, followed by about four years in cask. The vineyard also supplies fruit for the separately selected Monfortino Riserva.
