From the legendary Vigna Francia, the iconic vineyard where also Monfortino comes from, this barolo is the best expression of what Serralunga D’Alba barolos can offer. In this wine you can experience what Giacomo Conterno’s legacy represents, specially in this vintage, where tradition meets precision in a product of remarkable focus and depth. To the nose its strikingly pure, with notes of crushed cherries, rose petals, orange peel, cedar and hints of iron that rise from the glass very elegantly. There’s also a whisper of earth, tipical of wines from serralunga d’alba, and a subtle balsamic edge, layered beneath the floral lift. The tannins are sculpted and perfectly integrated, present but never aggressive, wrapped in a robe of bright acidity and tension. Notes of red berries, dried herbs, and blood orange that you can catch to the nose unfold slowly and beautifully. Iconic wine with great aging potential 96 pts 280€
