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

For a sweet wine this is absolutely delicious! It’s like taking a big bite out of a dark cherry, plum and pomegranate pie drenched in thick strawberry sauce. Almost sickening sweet! Another gift from a friend. 🥧🍒🍷⛄️ — 7 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

It's a 9.5 kind of night. Oh my Dorthy, how I wish we were eating pizza with this. The pasta with fava beans, mushrooms, and prosciutto did us well though. Have to get another bottle of this for future use. — 9 years ago

Savory, pungent, explosive aromas. Mushrooms cooking down in red wine. Umami. More umami. So good. Maybe not aging for much longer, so go get it. At its best in the glass, it had moments of brilliant lusciousness. Happy to have experienced it. — 11 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 — 12 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

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 — 9 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. — 11 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! — 12 years ago
