Giacomo Conterno 'Francia' Barolo 2021 Size:Regular planted on the classic albarizaThe 2021 Barolo Francia is a vertical, explosive Barolo endowed with tons of energy. Bright acids and fine beams of tannin provide the framework for this striking young Barolo. All the elements are so well balanced. Time in the glass brings out an interplay of mineral drenched energy, persistence and textural breadth. There's a lot of structure, and yet the tannins feel fine grained and finessed. I especially admire its translucent energy.
