Giacomo Conterno, Barolo, Cascina Francia 2008 Barbaresco dark raspberry and smoked meat

dark raspberry and smoked meat take over the palate

Not as boisterous as my last bottle in 2020

which is more than 80 years of age

- Great for any space to play with PaperCraft kit

tangy and beautifully balanced finish

Giacomo Conterno, Barolo, Cascina Francia 2008 Barbaresco dark raspberry and smoked meat96 Points James Suckling One of the best Cascina Francias in a long time. It shows aromas of melons and plums with hints of hazelnut and coca. Full body and dense with gorgeous silky tannins and an incredible finish. The texture is wonderful. Pure velvet. Chocolate and cedar. Orange peel. So long and beautiful. Love the finish. Very approachable now but better in four or five years. 12 2012 95 Points Wine Advocate The 2008 Barolo Cascina Francia
