Giacomo Conterno Cascina Francia Barolo Nebbiolo 2011
During the '40s, '50s and '60s, the Conternos could produce their epic Barolos by relying on small, independent farmers who worked their old, low-yielding vines. But by the 1970s, those farmers began increasingly to make their own wines. Threatened with the loss of their fruit sources, Giovanni acquired Serralunga's great Cascina Francia vineyard. With its fabulous exposure, and predominately calcareous soil, the site was perfect for the powerful Conterno style, and soon Cascina Francia became the sole source of their wines.

This bad boy is ready to go - at least until Roberto shuts it down in bottle

2011 vintage at roosenberg . Super vintage with a producer that never disappoints. Beautiful musty slightly bitter nose but beautiful acidity, bright cherries, a very feminin and delicate barolo that can age much longer but displays plenty of freshness and accessability in its youth.

Lovely fresh, vital and floral. A touch of floral... Very young but gorgeously pure and clear. A lot of fun

Unreal, soft fruit. Still new, can only imagine in 5-10 more years

Thrilled. In a carafe four plus hours. So fun to watch the mouthfeel settle down somewhat over that time.
