Barolo Francia Giacomo Conterno 2010 is a Barolo from the renowned Francia vineyard located in Serralunga d`Alba. The vineyard has long been cultivated by Giacomo Conterno, a winemaker known for his influential role in elevating Barolo to its esteemed status. The 2010 vintage benefited from a cooler growing season, allowing Nebbiolo grapes to ripen slowly, which is essential for developing depth and complexity. Aged in large Austrian oak botti, this wine presents an intense profile of dark fruit, herbal notes and distinctive savoury elements. The structure features robust tannins and a mineral edge that promises longevity.

The 2010 Barolo Francia is an exotic, beguiling beauty. Lavender, sage, menthol, tobacco and dried rose petals are some of the notes that open up in the glass. Constantly changing in the glass, the 2010 is utterly captivating. The combination of super-expressive aromatics, pliant fruit and pulsating tannins is something to behold. It will be many years before the 2010 is ready to deliver the goods, but it is already utterly captivating from the very first taste. Readers should note that, because of new vineyard regulations, the Cascina Francia is now known simply as Francia. In 2010, the corks had already been printed by the time that decision was made, so the corks on the 2010 read 'Cascina Francia.'Antonio Galloni1st September 2014

Giacomo Conterno

Time and Tradition

Founded in the 1920s, Giacomo Conterno is an iconic Piedmont estate currently owned and operated by Roberto, grandson of winery founder and namesake. Giacomo was assisted by his brother Aldo Conterno for many years before Aldo left to establish his own eponymous winery, pursuing a different style of winemaking altogether.

Along with Gaja and Bruno Giacosa, the winery is considered to be one of the premier producers of fine Barolo. Cascina Francia and Monfortino (only made in select vintages and aged for up to seven years before release) are Conterno's top wines when it comes to Nebbiolo, but the team also make excellent Barbera a'Alba. The Nebbiolo are traditional expressions of the Piedmont terroir in many ways - long-lived and earthy with an elegant savoury character to match alluring ripe red and black fruit notes.
