Barolo Cascina Francia 2015 - Giacomo Conterno

Tasting notes

"The wine unfolds slowly, revealing new elements with each swirl of the glass. Together, these aromas build in intensity and stature to become a magnificent Barolo with a capital B. The bouquet exudes elegance and complexity that will carry it through the ages. When I tasted this wine from barrel last year, I described it as demure. One year later, the wine is bursting with confidence, character and moxie.(...)."

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

Giovanni Conterno was the son of Giacomo Contero, who was born in 1895 and after whom the estate is named. Giacomo had been producing and bottling Monfortino since the 1920s.

Cascina Francia, the source of all the grapes for Monfortino, lies at up to 450 metres in the village of Monfortino along the border with Monforte, and opposite the celebrated Ginestra vineyard in the latter.

Monfortino is not a selection of the best barrels, but a parcel selection made shortly before the harvest. The best pracels can vary from year to year. Only when their quality is significantly superior to the rest of Cascina Fancia is the selection vinified separately, in open-top vats.
