Barolo DOCG "Francia" Giacomo Conterno 2018

Fineness, complexity, austerity, depth and elegance weave the fabric of this red wine, vocated by its origin to nobility.  The ancient Francia vineyard covers 14 hectares, dominated by predominantly calcareous soil.

Harvesting is preceded by careful selection during the pruning phase, which allows only one bunch per shoot to be left. Once brought to the cellar, the grapes are pressed and the must obtained is subjected to long macerations that can last up to 30 days. The fermentation phase takes place in toast-free Austrian wood vats.

Maturation then begins, inside oak barrels, for a period of 48 months. A final stop in the bottle makes it ready for marketing.
