Francia
Francia is a Serralunga d'Alba MGA that belongs in a practical label-reading set for Barolo. It points drinkers toward a site-specific expression of Nebbiolo often framed by depth, savory complexity, and long-lived tannin. The name should be understood as a place within Barolo rather than a producer style or separate appellation category.
