Antoniolo, Gattinara, San Francesco 2007 Cabernet Franc Hints of fresh herbs95 Antonio Galloni, Vinous The 2007 Gattinara San Francesco shows marvelous focus and length. It is an understated wine laced with floral overtones and simply exquisite finesse. Freshly cut roses, red cherries, minerals and mint are some of the nuances that fill out the beautiful, textured frame. All of the elements continue to gain in harmony and finesse through to the finish. This is the finest San Francesco I have ever tasted. Oct. 2011 94
