The nose is cidery and not super inviting, but the palate is far more appealing. Bright coppery color. Chewy tannins. Tastes of orange peel and windfall apples. Had this at Osteria Santo Stefano in Piacenza, where their entire white wine list appears to be orange wine. — 7 years ago
Expressive nose of sweet and sour cherries, blue berries, incense, and dried flower. Round and bright palate with medium to high acidity and soft bittersweet tannins. From a tiny 2/3 of a hectare family holding of the Santo Stefano di Perno vineyard, aged for 18 months in used Slovakia oak barrel, this Barbera shows exceptional freshness and purity of the fruits at this young age, but also has depth and structure to age further. — 8 years ago

Vibrant dark fruit with licorice and a dollop of flowers and tar, intense but balanced with plenty of fine tannin for support. Excellent in a totally different style from the 1997 Giacosa Santo Stefano tasted with it and more lively and nuanced than the 2000 Costa Russi. — 7 years ago
A great showing from the 2001 Asili. Aromatic, intense and sublime. A real pleasure to share and drink this bottle with my mom and dad. My parents introduced me to the wines of Bruno Giacosa (and many other Piedmont greats like Gaja, Vietti etc.) when I was in high school. The first Giacosa wine I remember buying for myself on release was the 1989 Barbaresco Santo Stefano Riserva. It cost the princely sum of $55 a bottle😱which at the time was a splurge that felt borderline reckless...Even today, there is nothing like the wines of the Maestro. 😋❤️ — 8 years ago
Excellent although clearly drink up time. Nose is strong and dominated by secondary savory notes along with a strong sanguine undertone and some asian spices and pepper. Much thicker and fuller on the palate than expected with a very tar and licorice character and a bit more rose and a little bit of cherry, coming forward. Finish has more of the Asian spice along with drying tannings. Drinks much more full bodied and dark than I would expect out of aged barbaresco — 9 years ago

Local distributor no longer carrying Red Cat by Hazlitt Vineyards, this was recommended as a suitable substitute. I have to agree with the recommendation. — 9 years ago
