This iconic Barolo offers an intricate bouquet of Rosés, tar, and red fruits. On the palate, it's a masterful blend of power and elegance, with layers of fruit, well-integrated tannins, and a long, complex finish. A wine that will continue to evolve beautifully in the cellar.

The 2007 Cascina Francia is unusually dark, rich and powerful. The floral, herbal notes that are typical in young Cascina Francia have been replaced by deeper notes of tar, smoke and licorice to match the layers of intense dark fruit. The 2007 is powerful and imposing from start to finish. It is going to be a fascinating Barolo to follow over the coming years and decades. Cascina Francia is often accessible for the first year or two after it has been bottled. That has not been my experience with the 2007. It seems already headed for a period of dormancy. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2037.
