Score 87/100 · Drink 1994-2006, Robert Parker, Oct 1994
The 1989 Barbera d'Alba Cascina Francia offers a curry, herb, and black-cherry and blackcurrant aroma, full body, power, structure, muscle, and excellent ripeness. It is youthful and unevolved, with a tightness and plumpness to its personality. A boldly-styled, rustic, mouthfilling, satisfying Barbera, drink it over the next 10-12 years. Importer: Vin Divino, Chicago, IL.

About the producer

Giacomo Conterno
Giacomo Conterno is arguably Barolo’s most celebrated estate. While most famous for its Monfortino Riserva, the quality found in every bottling of Nebbiolo and Barbera at this address makes them a benchmark producer for both varieties.
