"I especially admire its translucent energy. Magnificent."
Francia is one of Piedmont's great wines, and the 2021 is destined to be included among the greats of the past couple of decades.

Conterno's 2021 Francia is a wine of indescribable class.
As you'd expect, the 2021 Francia is striking. It isn't shy in the power department but also struts the breeding and finesse. The grandeur and architecture of the wine are amazing.
This is a monumental Barolo. It comes from one of Serralunga's top sites, a commune renowned for the density, texture, and heft of its wines.
We love the elegance and sparkling clarity of the 2021 Piedmont wines. The wines are so classically styled and have beautiful energy. Francia is one of the stars of the vintage. It is just jaw-droppingly good.
Roberto Conterno has exacting standards and focuses on every little detail. The sum is an almost logic-defying profundity.
Francia is always a stunning wine. However, some years, it reaches a level of nuance and ageability that's truly remarkable. The 2021 is an example of this.
