Giacomo Conterno, Barolo Cascina Francia Serralunga d'Alba, 2003 (1.5L)
A magnum of Roberto Conterno's Cascina Francia from the famously hot 2003 summer, a vintage where Conterno declined to bottle a Monfortino and the Cascina Francia consequently received the very best fruit from the family's 16-hectare Serralunga estate. Roberto picked exceptionally late, waiting until October 8 to harvest, which gave this bottling more freshness and lift than most 2003 Barolos. Twenty-two years on and in magnum format, it has shed the early heat and is drinking in its prime: still the benchmark traditional house, still 50hl Slavonian botti, still Serralunga d'Alba's most coveted address. A historic chance to drink a Conterno Cascina Francia carrying Monfortino-grade selection in the slow-aging format.
