Characterised by an intense garnet colour, it offers a deep aromatic profile with prominent notes of raspberry, blackcurrant, rose and violet, complemented by hints of coffee, mint and tobacco. On the palate, it is structured and balanced, distinguished by a \u003cstrong\u003efirm tannin\u003c\/strong\u003e without any bitter notes. Its pronounced savouriness and solid acidic framework lead to a long and elegant finish, faithfully reflecting the varietal character of the grape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis renowned wine takes its name from the historic \u003cstrong\u003eCascina Francia vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e, located in the municipality of Serralunga d’Alba, in the heart of the Langhe. The site benefits from a \u003cstrong\u003ewell-ventilated microclimate\u003c\/strong\u003e that ensures optimal development and harmonious ripening of the \u003cstrong\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/strong\u003e clusters. The vine roots penetrate a \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, an essential geological component that imparts the wine with its characteristic gustatory tension and a distinct sensation of salinity. This precise geographical origin results in a complex and balanced drinking experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the winery, the \u003cstrong\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes are crushed and destemmed before fermentation begins. The process takes place in steel vats at a \u003cstrong\u003econtrolled temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e, using only indigenous yeasts and with regular daily pump-overs. After malolactic fermentation, the wine undergoes a slow \u003cstrong\u003e48-month maturation\u003c\/strong\u003e in barrels, encouraging the development of breadth and structural complexity. The production cycle is completed with a \u003cstrong\u003efinal resting period\u003c\/strong\u003e that consolidates its full organoleptic harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo Cascina Francia 2022\u003c\/strong\u003e by Giacomo Conterno, made from \u003cstrong\u003e100% Nebbiolo grapes\u003c\/strong\u003e grown on calcareous soils, is an excellent DOCG red wine with pronounced savouriness.
