Giacomo Conterno Barolo: Cascina Francia

“Cascina Francia and Monfortino… considered by most observers as among the most profound wines in the world.”
— Antonio Galloni

Every great wine region has its icons: DRC in Burgundy, Chave in the Rhône, Petrus in Pomerol — and Giacomo Conterno in Barolo.

Produced using an uncompromisingly traditional approach, these Barolo wines are shaped by long macerations and extended aging in large Slavonian oak casks. The result is a style defined by purity, structure, and restraint — a benchmark that has influenced generations of winemakers across Piedmont and Italy.

Cascina Francia — A Benchmark Barolo for Collectors

From the historic Cascina Francia vineyard in Serralunga d’Alba, this wine represents one of the most complete expressions of Giacomo Conterno wine. Powerful yet precise, Cascina Francia combines depth, finesse, and the unmistakable aromatic lift that defines great Piedmont wine.

Drawn from the same estate as the legendary Barolo Monfortino Riserva, Cascina Francia shares the estate’s unmistakable DNA — offering collectors access to Conterno’s philosophy and terroir without waiting decades or paying multiples of the price.

Why Cascina Francia Belongs in Your Cellar

• A classic Barolo profile — pale in color, layered aromatics, vibrant acidity, firm structure, and a long, mineral-driven finish

• Traditional, not heavy-handed — built for longevity and evolution rather than immediate opulence

• Provenance matters — sourced in pristine condition from a respected American restaurateur and wine author

• Scarce by nature — limited production and high global demand make availability fleeting
