Francia—formerly known as Cascina Francia—is Giacomo Conterno’s flagship vineyard, a sweeping amphitheater of clay-limestone soils in Serralunga d’Alba. This site produces some of the most powerful and long-lived Barolo in the region. In the hands of Roberto Conterno, it becomes a masterwork of precision and restraint: long maceration, large botti, and no compromise.

The 2020 vintage balances ripeness with freshness, delivering a wine of immense structure and clarit  that will drink just slightly earlier than the 2021.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 98
"The 2020 Barolo Francia is a soaring, classically austere wine built for the cellar. Medium in body and driving, with tons of mineral intensity, the 2020 is an evocative wine that makes me think about the future. This is what young Barolo should be – vibrant and stern, but with the purity of fruit that is typical here." -Vinous
