Magnum

To my knowlegde, this is the first vintage of Cascina Francia to be machine-bottled. Giovanni Conterno had bottled magnums of 1974 Barolo by hand, but found that the hand-inserted corks had leaked, so he stopped bottling magnums until 1989 when he bought a bottling machine that could handle magnums.
