The shows an abundance of ripe red fruits, floral perfume and sweet spice. Feminine and taut on the palate, with no shortage of fresh mixed red berries, and drink-me-now persona. Far from what I was expecting, yet enjoyable if you didn't expect a young Giacosa Barbaresco.

Odd. Tasted more like Barbera than Nebbiolo. Tons of ripe red and blue fruits.

Last ever vintage (Giacosa lost the vyd lease). Fitting tribute 2 a historic Italian wine. Unforgettable polish.

Could use a few years but still drinking like a champ today.
50% off Cinghiale Tuesdays, scooped it up for $145. Incredible pairing with Tajarin and beef ragu and roast lamb.

Amazing nose, ripe and sunny. Lovely subtle tannis
