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.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 99
"The 2021 Barolo Francia is a vertical, explosive Barolo endowed with tons of energy. Bright acids and fine beams of tannin provide the framework for this striking young Barolo. All the elements are so well balanced. Time in the glass brings out an interplay of mineral-drenched energy, persistence and textural breadth. There's a lot of structure, and yet the tannins feel fine-grained and finessed. I especially admire its translucent energy. Magnificent." -Antonio Galloni

D 98
"Bottled in May of 2024, the latter is subtlety demonstrative on the nose, albeit with some coaxing. Traces of pressed violet, pomegranate, iron and sage blossom are all detectable. The palate is appropriately taut and strict, though not in complete rigidity. Dark, pristine fruit is densely packed, intricately woven with the refined yet steely tannins which bend back around to the front of the palate, hemming it all in. Savoury, mineral and spicy on the finish. The estate will also release a 2021 Monfortino Riserva – though it is difficult to imagine how it will top this Francia." -Michaela Morris
