Cascina Ferrero is a beautiful and linear wine with cooling acidity and lingering aromas of chopped herb, redwood, leather, tobacco, old spice, cola, linseed oil and balsam notes. This is a very vertical and buoyant wine that would pair well with fatty foods such as roast suckling pig. It evolves nicely in the mouth to offer polished tannins and a firm close.——M.L.(4/1/2009)—— 91
