About the wine
Giacomo Conterno Barolo Francia 2017 is a textbook example of how traditional vinification and terroir can create a structured and age-worthy wine. As one of the most iconic producers in Piedmont, Roberto Conterno has continued the family philosophy of creating wines of extreme precision, depth and elegance.
The 2017 vintage was a challenging vintage in Barolo, but Conterno has managed to make a wine with excellent balance, power and potential for long ageing.
2017 was a warm and dry vintage, resulting in powerful wines with concentrated fruit and ripe tannins.
Color: Deep garnet red with incipient orange reflections.
Aroma: Enormously complex nose with notes of dried roses, dark cherries, tar, anise and truffle. Secondary aromas of smoked earth, spices and licorice.
Taste: Great concentration with an impressive balance of fruit, acidity and tannins. Flavors of dark berries, leather, blood orange, ferrous minerality and white pepper. The finish is long, powerful and elegant.
