The Story
Giacomo Conterno’s 1999 Barolo “Cascina Francia” is drawn from the family's Serralunga vineyard, acquired in 1974 and now one of Barolo’s most iconic crus. Fermented traditionally with long maceration, the wine aged for four years in large Slavonian oak botti.
This vintage reflects the power and structure of Serralunga with the depth and finesse of a long-maturing Nebbiolo. A benchmark expression of Barolo, crafted by one of Piemonte’s most revered traditionalists.
