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.

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.
