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.

Brilliant pale ruby color. Nose is anise, coffee and leather, potpourri & restrained dried roses. Palate refined w elegant and complex layers dried herbs roses and kitchen anise spice. Finishing w fine silky and elegant integrated tannins. Still 3-5 years ahead

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

Strawberry and juicy cherry, nice weight.
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.
