Review

"The 2021 Barbera Cascina Francia was tasted from barrel and pours a rich youthful ruby/purple colour. Mineral-tinged with graphite, black raspberry, and violets, it is medium-bodied on the palate, with refined tannic structure, great freshness, and a red plum and more violet perfume. Gorgeous and pure, warmth and freshness at the same time, this is as good as it gets for Barbera." - 94-96pts, JebDunnuck.com
