Soft, highly perfumed. Relatively light wine for a barbaresco. Drink now

Nice elegant profile for Giacosa with light red fruit and lean but full finish

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.
