{"product_id":"giacomo-conterno-barolo-cascina-francia-1995","title":"Giacomo Conterno, Barolo Cascina Francia, 1995","description":"This is a 1995 Cascina Francia from Giovanni Conterno's time, and Giovanni is the man who split with his own brother rather than give up on traditional Barolo. In 1969 his younger brother Aldo wanted to try a more modern style, so the two went their separate ways, and Giovanni kept making Barolo the way his father and grandfather had. Five years later he bought Cascina Francia, 14 hectares in one of Serralunga d'Alba's best spots. It was a wheat field at the time, though vines had grown there before, and it became the family's monopole. Until then the Conternos had made their Barolo only from purchased grapes. The grapes are picked by hand. Roberto Conterno, Giovanni's son, runs the estate now and carries on that approach. He worked alongside his father for many years before Giovanni died in 2004. As with any older Barolo, stand the bottle upright for a day before you open it, decant it gently and pour it into a big glass.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50524982968377,"sku":"NYC-[CNSN]-TTSUMMER0826-092226-165-18","price":329.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/IMG-5008.jpg?v=1791647158","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/giacomo-conterno-barolo-cascina-francia-1995","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
