Welcome to the house · Since 1969
Terroir across lightyears. Vintage over millennia.
Welcome. Since 1969 our family has given its time, its patience and its love to the vines — and to the wine that comes from them. Dry and naturally sweet; red, white and rosé; in bottles of 750ml and boxes of five litres. Poured best in company, and poured generously.
I. The Estate
Three disciplines have survived every migration the house has made. They are not modern. That is precisely why they still work.
Ancestral loam, suspended in engineered gravity. Every hectare of the Franco estate is grown in soil carried forward from the original 1969 vineyard — fed, rested, refreshed, never replaced. The mineral signature of a single Earth hillside still sits beneath every vine we own.
Harvest is pressed at stellar alignment. No heat, no haste — only captured starlight drawing the must from the fruit.
Each vintage is read atom by atom, then left alone. Balance is not corrected here. It is waited for.

II. The Curated Collection
Released in strict sequence, each expression is drawn from a single press and held until it stops moving.
Ruby red, intense and well balanced. Strong bodied with good acidity — hints of forest fruits, chocolate and apricot. Excellent with roasted and grilled meats, mild and mature cheese.

IV. Private Collection
Premium Red and Premium White are never released in volume. A fraction of each press is drawn off, sealed under the family crest and set aside for the houses who have kept an allocation since the beginning — some of them for fifty-six years, some for considerably longer.

V. The Tasting
Not every vintage stays behind glass. These are the house's own recordings from the tasting circuit — the stand at first light, the pour, the first taste.
