Serralunga, en skrånende skrænt bestående af lys, kalkholdig ler og rige metalforekomster, især store mængder jern. Maskuline, ekstremt kraftfulde vine. Men hvorfor formår Roberto Conterno så at skabe disse vine fulde af finesse? Kun den del af Monfortino, der er omgivet af Cascina Francia, er ren kraft, mens Cascina Francia byder på blomsteragtig, rødfrugtig friskhed. Mere som en »Colonello« fra fætter Aldo Conterno fra Monforte. Blomsteragtig, roser, kirsebær, ekstremt aromatisk og udtryksfuld. Derunder tobak og røg, lavendel, koriander, dominikansk tobak. Fantastisk spænding og dynamik, frisk, racet, silkeagtige tanniner med høj syre. Det er stor underholdning og altid en af de allerbedste Barolo-vine.

Suckling om: Barolo Francia

-- 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. 96/100

Parker om: Barolo Francia

-- Parker: The 2008 Barolo Cascina Francia possesses gorgeous inner perfume, layers of sublime fruit and fabulous overall balance. Plums, dark cherries and licorice are followed by darker notes of graphite and tar as the wine opens up in the glass. Today, the 2008 is much less expressive than it has been the many times I have tasted it from barrel. It will be interesting to see how the 2008 develops and whether it puts on weight or remains more of a mid-weight, gracious Barolo. Either way, it is fabulous. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2048. 95+/100
