Local distributor no longer carrying Red Cat by Hazlitt Vineyards, this was recommended as a suitable substitute. I have to agree with the recommendation. — 8 years ago

1999 Riserva Soldera Brunello. Drank w K at dinner at Ago. Had this after the 1985 Santo Stefano Barbaresco. This was much bigger, heavier. Very rich and complex wine. Less fruit and more vegetal on the nose, which was unexpected. Loved it! — 11 years ago

Day 2 of Santo Stefano...still plenty of tannin, but coming around so nicely! Santo Stefano is incredible... — 12 years ago
The nose showed hints of raw almond with young mango, peach, apple and crushed stone. On the palate, I found a fresh and almost savory expression. It lacked the fruit concentration of other Nascetta, but made up for it with structure, pretty inner florals, a spritz of mineral-infused lime and salinity. The finish was long with saline-minerality and residual notes of lime. Wow! #collisioni17 #Nascetta — 8 years ago
Smooth and dark. Dry rich red wine. Very good, solid big red table wine. Not too complex but grows with age. — 8 years ago
Classic B-flat Barolo - meaning it sings in the best key, it's easy to drink and it hits all the right notes - a crescendo of tar and tart fruit, backed by lightly percussive tannins. I got one more bottle, so I can play this tune again later. — 8 years ago
Juicy, savory, best of the 3 — 10 years ago
Albesani is a vineyard on the same hill as Santo Stefano. Gorgeous, perfumed nose of dark cherry, rose, truffle, and underbrush. This is a tremendous sleeper of a wine. Good now and for 10+ years. — 10 years ago
Blend of Merlot and Cabernet franc, very smooth and satisfying. Beautiful color and elegant nose, pleasantly sweet. Rich in the mouth, perhaps too young but a really a good glass! 82/100 — 11 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. 😋❤️ — 7 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 — 8 years ago
