"Roberto Conterno continues this strong series with a Cascina Francia that is breathtaking for its elegance, poise and sheer beauty. Even better from bottle than it was from cask, the 2001 Barolo Cascina Francia displays a stunning nose of roses, spices and crushed raspberries with delicate layers of sweet dark red fruit, licorice and menthol flavors on a medium-bodied frame, closing with great freshness and fine, noble tannins. Several recent bottles suggest that this Barolo has put on some additional weight over the last few months. Despite its initially restrained impression there is plenty of structure and body underneath. It will be a fascinating wine to follow over the next several decades. One of the best Cascina Francias I have ever tasted, and among the very finest wines of this great vintage, it sets a new benchmark for the level of sublimeness and finesse that nebbiolo can achieve. Highly recommended."

"Cascina Francia and Monfortino ... considered by most observers as among the most profound wines in the world.”
- Antonio Galloni

Every wine region has its superstar: DRC in Burgundy, Chave in the Rhône, Petrus in Pomerol… and Giacomo Conterno in Barolo.

Among Conterno’s treasures, Cascina Francia has long set the standard, the benchmark others aspire to match.

These wines are timeless in every sense - effortlessly aging for decades and embodying the purity of traditional winemaking.

Conterno’s style is the ultimate balance: never oaky, never rustic. Pale in color yet bursting with endless aromatics, delivering a finish that lingers for days.
