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.
