The exclusive Barolo Francone, a rare red wine from Piedmont, with only 3000 bottles produced, straight from a renowned family estate.
Product description
Francone's Barolo DOCG is an exclusive wine with a rich history dating back to 1958. This elegant Barolo combines the power of La Morra with the refined freshness and robust tannins of Monforte, resulting in a complex and balanced wine. The grapes, 100% Nebbiolo, are harvested by hand in the second half of October and undergo a traditional fermentation and maceration of 14 to 16 days, with frequent pumping over and immersion. The wine then ages in French oak barrels for about 30 months and rests in bottle for at least six months before release.
With its deep garnet red color and aromatic complexity, this Barolo offers notes of ripe red fruit, spice and subtle wood nuances. The structure is full and powerful, with refined acidity and velvety tannins that develop beautifully over the years. This wine is at its best between four and 12 years after harvest, but exceptional vintages can even age for decades and gain depth.
This refined Barolo is best with classic Italian dishes such as fresh egg pasta with truffles, game dishes, roasted and braised meats and aged aged cheeses. Serve the wine at a temperature of 18-20°C to fully enjoy its rich character and refined complexity. With a limited edition of only 3000 bottles, this is a wine for the true enthusiast.
