Really enjoyed this. Very polished and shiny, which Giacosa is sometimes criticized for but it was simply a killer wine. Wore its 15% abv extremely well. Didn’t read hot with lamb ragu. Really pretty red fruits, soft tannins, approachable acidity. A delicious wine at Barbalu.

Youthful and unwinded at the moment, give it time, 3 hrs in the decanter or a day opened, and you’ll be rewarded as it opens up and reveal its developing and dense complexity with a foreground of crisp fresh fruit and a loaded background, full presence on the palate with a cut through acidity driving the long finish.

sometimes the big names hit it outta the park. i expected this to be overworked and laden with oak, but this was open and true Nebbiolo. excellent entry level bottle from Giacosa.
