Description: Giacomo Conterno Barolo Francia is a revered red wine with a distinctive style. The colour displays vibrant garnet tones. The aromas are riveting, characteristic of a high-calibre Barolo, with shades of red fruits, roses, violets, plus hints of tobacco, mint and coffee. The taste is full of personality, the tannins well extracted, pronounced but not harsh. Well-balanced, with an excellent presence of acidity and the premises for a long aging.

Aggressive; the tannin is well extracted; strong but not at all bitter; balanced; with an excellent presence of acidity.
