Giacomo Conterno, Cascina Francia Barolo DOCG

Gentle pressing of the grapes, long 30-day maceration, and fermentation in Austrian oak barrels; the wine matures for 4 years in oak barrels of various sizes and then ages extensively in the bottle.

Ruby red color tending towards garnet; fine and intense nose of violet and dried rose, berries and cherry, with spicy and balsamic notes, mineral and leathery hints; elegant and muscular sip, ample and enveloping, with fine and velvety tannins, graceful acidity and infinite persistence.

Stewed or grilled red meats, game, truffles, mature cheeses.
