Barolo Cascina Francia Giacomo Conterno 2006

Giacomo Conterno Barolo Cascina Francia 2006 is a full-bodied, single-vineyard Nebbiolo red wine from the Barolo appellation of Piedmont, northern Italy. The Barolos of Giacomo Conterno are renowned for their extraordinary combination of power, subtlety and longevity, and to many represent the apogee of Italian fine wines. Cascina Francia is one of the most sought-after Barolos in the Conterno range, whose ample charms are particularly evident after long bottle maturation. On the 2006 Cascina Francia. "Is Giacomo Conterno’s 2006 Barolo Cascina Francia a traditional or modern Barolo? Great question. Texturally, the 2006 boasts marvellous depth and a level of pure intensity not often seen in traditionally made wines, yet the aromatics, tannin and overall structure are all super classic. This is another austere, tannic Barolo best left alone." Vinous, 2014
