Robert Parker (94)

Compared to the expression from the Cerretta vineyard, the 2017 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Francia is even darker in color with more austerity and muscle power at the back. The alcohol reading of the two wines is the same (15.5%), but this expression offers less obvious fruit and more dark mineral instead. The soils in the Francia vineyard see a mix of limestone sand and clay, and this is true of where both the Barbera and the Nebbiolo vines are located. You sense an increased mineral presence in the Francia with iron, salt and scorched earth. This full-throttle Barbera is penetrating and deep. This is a fine expression of the grape, offering exacting detail and precision.

James Suckling (92)

For beaucratic reasons this is now simply called Francia instead of Cascina Francia. Lovely tangy fruit with tangerines, oranges and plums. Full to medium body, bright acidity and a crisp finish. Velvety texture. A nutty, nutmeg undertone. Savory.
