Giacomo Conterno
Francia Barolo Nebbiolo


Incredible. So young, but open without a decant for hours and it's great, the tannins softened, the acid is bright but everything is in balance

This was a vintage for Francia where no Monfortino was made drinking quite youthful tonight showing lots of tannin & structure that will need more time in the cellar.

Jan 31st, 2021Quite firm tannin but countered with ample juiciness. Almost a chocolaty undertone.
11 seems to be approachable young but this could use some time and who knows how good it could be.

Sublime and silky smooth with cherry chocolate undertones

This is all about power & structure. One of my favorite vintages for Francia. Interesting to follow both the 11 & 12 with no Monfotino made.
