Barolo Cascina Francia 1998 - Giacomo Conterno

Tasting notes

"The 1998 Barolo Cascina Francia from Giacomo Conterno is delicate, layered and perfumed, showing gorgeous finesse and lovely inner tension in its fruit. Overall this is a soft, accessible Cascina Francia that is drinking beautifully today and should last for at least another decade. (...)"

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

Giovanni Conterno was the son of Giacomo Contero, who was born in 1895 and after whom the estate is named. Giacomo had been producing and bottling Monfortino since the 1920s.

Cascina Francia, the source of all the grapes for Monfortino, lies at up to 450 metres in the village of Monfortino along the border with Monforte, and opposite the celebrated Ginestra vineyard in the latter.

Monfortino is not a selection of the best barrels, but a parcel selection made shortly before the harvest. The best pracels can vary from year to year. Only when their quality is significantly superior to the rest of Cascina Fancia is the selection vinified separately, in open-top vats.
