Giacomo Conterno Barolo Francia 2020 – A Pinnacle of Piedmont Elegance

Crafted in the legendary Barolo region of Piedmont, Italy, the 2020 Barolo Francia from Giacomo Conterno represents the epitome of Nebbiolo excellence. This critically acclaimed vintage has garnered 98-point scores from Jeb Dunnuck and Vinous, along with 97+ points from Wine Advocate, cementing its status as a collector’s gem.

A Symphony of Flavors & Structure

Expect a radiant pale red hue leading to an aromatic bouquet of fresh cherries, roses, and exotic spice, layered with nuanced hints of apricot, tea leaf, and iron-rich minerality. The palate delivers structured yet silky tannins, balancing ripe fruit density with vibrant acidity—an elegant powerhouse built for long-term aging (optimal drinking window: 2025–2045).

Why This Barolo Stands Out

• Unmatched Terroir Expression: Sourced from the revered Francia vineyard, this wine showcases the site’s signature mineral intensity and depth.
• Aging Potential: With its firm, age-worthy tannins and energetic lift, it promises to evolve beautifully over 20+ years.
• Critical Darling: Praised for its “seamless texture” (Vinous) and “explosive energy” (Wine Advocate), it outshines peers in finesse and complexity.

Perfect for Connoisseurs & Collectors

Fermented in wood and aged in Austrian oak, this 15% ABV Barolo is a testament to traditional craftsmanship. Pair with truffle dishes, aged cheeses, or savor solo as a contemplative indulgence.
