About this wine

Cascina Francia is Giacomo Conterno’s historic cru, a high-altitude southwest-facing amphitheatre on Serralunga’s slopes. In 2009, warm conditions give a Barolo with ripe black cherry and plum fruit, but the wine remains vertical and serious, with liquorice, tar, iron and dried herb notes. Long fermentations and extended cask ageing build enormous structure: the tannins are firm and architectural, yet the fruit and acidity keep everything in balance. This is a classic collector’s Barolo that will continue to evolve for decades.

Tasting Note

Critics describe intense dark cherry and plum with notes of liquorice, tar, dried flowers and earthy minerality, on a full, firmly structured palate with great depth and a very long, savoury finish.

In the glass

Deep ruby-garnet with a dark core.

In the nose

Black cherry, plum, liquorice, tar, violets and iron-tinged minerality.

On the palate

Concentrated and powerful, with dense fruit, high acidity, imposing but fine-grained tannins and a very long, savoury finish.

Giacomo Conterno

The benchmark for uncompromising, long-lived Nebbiolo. Giacomo Conterno champions traditional fermentation, extended maceration, and long aging in large casks. The estate’s flagship, Monfortino, is one of the world’s great collectible wines. Powerful, structured, and built for decades. Every bottle reflects an almost obsessive pursuit of purity and integrity.
