Review

"Conterno’s 2016 Barolo Francia is effusive, with a real sense of expansiveness that gives the wine breadth. Sage, mint, cedar, tobacco and strong mineral accents complement a core of dark fruit in a Barolo of real gravitas ... In 2016, Roberto Conterno did not bottle his flagship Monfortino, all the casks were blended for the Barolo Francia." - 97pts, Vinous
