Tasting notes

Tar, dried rose petal and crushed stone open the nose, classic Francia character amplified by the ripe 2015 vintage. The palate is dense yet lifted, with sour cherry, liquorice and firm, fine tannin. The finish is long, mineral and structured.

About this wine

Giacomo Conterno's Francia represents the pinnacle of traditional Barolo winemaking from Piedmont's most prestigious region. Crafted from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the renowned Francia vineyard, this full-bodied red wine embodies the elegance and complexity that defines the DOCG appellation. The winery's commitment to classic production methods yields a wine of remarkable structure and aging potential.

Francia delivers a warming, velvety profile marked by black fruit character and sophisticated tannins. This Barolo DOCG pairs beautifully with lamb, beef, and rich mushroom dishes, while its depth complements aged and hard cheeses. The 14.5% alcohol content provides power without overshadowing the wine's refined character, making it equally suited to fine dining tables and distinguished cellars in luxury properties worldwide.
