Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Mar 14
One of the most open and pleasing wines in this vertical the 2007 Barbera d'Alba Cascina Francia is in a real sweet spot right now as it is just beginning to hit its stride. The 2007 is huge and voluptuous on the palate, yet it retains remarkable complexity, nuance and personality. Readers who own the 2007 are in for a treat. This is a stunning wine in a great Barbera vintage.

Italy

Italy, renowned for its diverse wine styles, produces wines from a vast range of indigenous grapes, reflecting its varied climates and soils. Notable reds include Barolo and Barbaresco from Piedmont, made from Nebbiolo, and Brunello di Montalcino from Tuscany, crafted from Sangiovese. Chianti Classico, also from Tuscany, is known for its vibrant Sangiovese-based blends, while Veneto's Amarone is a rich, full-bodied wine made from dried grapes. Top producers like Gaja, Antinori, and Marchesi di Barolo exemplify Italy's commitment to quality and tradition in winemaking.
