Giacomo Conterno, Barolo Cascina Francia, 2004
From one of Barolo's greatest traditional houses, in one of its great classic vintages. Giacomo Conterno's Cascina Francia comes from a single 14-hectare clay-limestone vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba, made with natural yeasts, long maceration, and years in large Slavonian casks before release. The 2004 is a balanced, structured, age-worthy vintage that earned wide admiration, and after two decades it's settling into a beautiful mature stride while keeping plenty in reserve. A profound bottle of traditional Nebbiolo. Decant and give it air.
