Tasting Notes

Tasted at La Festa del Barolo 2013 Gala Dinner. Conterno’s 1999 Barolo Cascina Francia is one of those wines that continues to grow with time in bottle. A classic bouquet of rose petals, tar and minerals graces the palate in a Barolo of pure and exquisite pleasure. Frankly, I wish I owned more of the 1999. Tonight it is sensual, layered and absolutely impeccable.
