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.

Jun 30th, 2023Garnet in color with a nose of dark fruit & earth. Medium body, very smooth with even tannins and slight acidity at the end. On the drier side with black plum, earth and some oak. Really nice wine!
