This is the soul of Barolo, bottled with reverence. A wine that etches greatness into stone.
The Epicenter of Tradition
From the legendary Cascina Francia vineyard, Conterno’s exclusive monopole in Serralunga, comes a Barolo that is the benchmark for traditional, age-worthy Nebbiolo. The nose is haunting in its restraint: dried cherry, crushed rose petal, licorice root, iron, and tar swirl in slow, contemplative layers. On the palate, the focus is on architecture, not fruit. The tannins are monumental yet noble, carved like marble.
Vinified with extended skin contact and aged for years in massive Slavonian oak casks, there is not a trace of modern flourish. The process relies on patience and a winemaking philosophy that borders on religious practice. This is a promise to the future.
How to Enjoy
This wine is made for decades of quiet evolution in a cool cellar. It is a true collector's piece.
