Giacomo Conterno’s 1999 Barolo “Cascina Francia” is drawn from the family's Serralunga vineyard, acquired in 1974 and now one of Barolo’s most iconic crus. Fermented traditionally with long maceration, the wine aged for four years in large Slavonian oak botti.

This vintage reflects the power and structure of Serralunga with the depth and finesse of a long-maturing Nebbiolo. A benchmark expression of Barolo, crafted by one of Piemonte’s most revered traditionalists.

"Conterno's 1999 Cascina Francia graces the palate with extraordinary depth and resonance. Sweet floral notes wrap around a core of super-expressive red stone fruits as the wine opens up in the glass. Over the last few years the 1999 has continued to put on weight. Today, it is a much more extroverted and generous wine than it was at the outset. The 1999 can be enjoyed now and over the next 15-20 years, perhaps longer. This is a brilliant showing." —Antonio Galloni

"Consumers in search of the epitome of classic Barolo will be well rewarded in the 1999 Barolo Cascina Francia, a vintage which the family is very happy with. Medium garnet (color is never particularly deep here), its spicy-resinous nose, warm, penetrating, and alcoholic, promises much pleasure, a commitment which the palate respects in its ample texture, superior continuity and drive, lovely kirsch and licorice flavors, and unusually supple tannins. Substantial and enveloping, it will easily evolve well for twenty years." —Daniel Thomases

"Pale ruby. Sweet and heady and rich. Dusty. Fun and transparent. Tarry. Very good. Its transparency reminds me of some Etna wines.."

More about Giacomo Conterno

The Piedmont legend. Giovanni Conterno opened a tavern in 1908, made Barolo for it, and the first Riserva changed everything. His son Giacomo took over in 1934, and the estate's been making world-class Nebbiolo ever since. Monfortino Riserva is aged seven years minimum in huge botti—old school done perfectly.
