Wine writer Huon Hooke gave Giacomo Conterno ‘Cascina Francia’ Barolo 2006 18.5 points and said…”Very fragrant and complex bouquet. Very tight tannin palate. Lean, angular, finely structured, with superb pure-fruit flavour and structure .. firm and yet supple tannins. Very rich and complex; no need for barriques to build more complexity into this wine. Great line and length; superb vino.”
