Note di degustazione
Sadly, in 1989 Mother Nature was not kind to Conterno, as hail wreaked havoc on the vineyards. There was no Monfortino that year, and Conterno released just 4,000 bottles of the 1989 Barolo Cascina Francia. Leather, spices, tobacco and licorice are some of the nuances that emerge from this austere, powerful Barolo. In this context, next to a set of profound 1989s and Conterno's own 1990s, the wine suffers a bit, but it is still magical juice. At some point in the future, the wine's structural components are likely to dominate over the fruit, but that date appears to be well off in the future.

Informazioni sul produttore
Giacomo Conterno è probabilmente l'azienda agricola più celebre del Barolo. Sebbene sia famosa soprattutto per il suo Monfortino Riserva, la qualità riscontrabile in ogni imbottigliamento di Nebbiolo e Barbera in questo luogo ne fa un produttore di riferimento per entrambe le varietà.
