Galloni om: Barbera d'Alba Francia

-- Galloni: A reticent wine, the 2008 Barbera d'Alba Cascina Francia remains incredibly tight, which is amazing as it has been in bottle now for a few years. Pure power and structure dominate in a wine that impresses for its persistence and overall balance. Ideally the 2008 could use at least another year or two in bottle. -- Antonio Galloni 92+/100

Parker om: Barbera d'Alba Francia

-- Parker: The 2008 Barbera d’Alba Cascina Francia is a classic Conterno Barbera. Layers of dark, brooding fruit come forth gradually, along with exotic scents of new leather, licorice, tar and soy that add complexity. This is a decidedly reserved, mineral-driven Barbera that will appeal most to readers who appreciate the focused side of Barbera as opposed to more opulent vintages such as 2007 where the fruit is decidedly forward. The Cascina Francia shows greater richness and density than the Ceretta, suggesting the direction that wine is likely to take in coming years. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2023. 92/100

Suckling om: Barbera d'Alba Francia

-- Suckling: The nose is floral with a mushroom and ripe berry character. Clean fruit and a delicate herbal finish round out this pretty wine. The subtlety leads you on and an incredible mineral finish sneaks up on you on the finish. Find the wine 91/100
