Giacomo Conterno Francia Barolo 2021 MG

Giacomo Conterno Francia Barolo 2021 MG is a benchmark expression of Nebbiolo from one of Barolo’s most revered producers. Sourced from the prestigious Francia cru, this magnum format adds extra aging potential and collector appeal to a wine already prized for its depth, precision, and longevity.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a translucent garnet-red color with subtle brick-like reflections that signal its classic Barolo pedigree. The nose is refined and layered, with aromas of rose petal, red cherry, wild berry, tar, anise, licorice, and earthy spice, unfolding with impressive complexity over time. The palate is structured and authoritative, combining taut acidity, firm but polished tannins, and concentrated red-fruit character with mineral tension and savory depth. This is a wine built for the long haul, and the magnum format should help it evolve beautifully over many years, developing even greater harmony and nuance with cellaring.

Production
Francia is one of the most celebrated sites in Serralunga d'Alba, known for its limestone-rich soils, excellent drainage, and the structure it lends to Nebbiolo. The fruit is carefully harvested by hand and vinified with the restrained, traditional approach for which Giacomo Conterno is famed, allowing the character of the vineyard to remain at the forefront while preserving purity, finesse, and age-worthy structure.

Food & Serving
Pair this Barolo with richly flavored dishes such as braised beef, veal shank, truffle risotto, porcini mushrooms, or aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16-18°C and, given its youth and structure, decanting for several hours is recommended to allow the wine to open fully.

Producer
Giacomo Conterno is one of the legendary names of Barolo, with a history deeply rooted in the traditional wines of Piedmont. The estate has earned an iconic reputation for crafting powerful yet beautifully balanced wines with exceptional aging capacity, and its Monfortino and single-vineyard Barolos are widely regarded among the greatest in Italy.
