Francone produces Nebbiolo-based Barbarescos from Piemonte in Northern Italy. The winery's portfolio centers on three expressions of this demanding varietal: Fausoni Barbaresco, Barbaresco Albesani, and I Patriarchi Barbaresco. Nebbiolo, grown in the Barbaresco zone's distinctive terroir, yields wines of structure and complexity—marked by high tannins, acidity, and the potential for considerable aging. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate have rated Francone's releases, with Fausoni Barbaresco achieving an average prestige rating of 91.0, Barbaresco Albesani at 90.3, and I Patriarchi Barbaresco at 90.0. These scores reflect the technical precision required to balance Nebbiolo's power with elegance. The winery's focus on single-vineyard and cuvée-specific bottlings demonstrates a commitment to articulating the nuances of Piemontese Nebbiolo.
