Top Notes For
Manny Abascal

I sponsored a tasting of Giacosa wines in honor of his passing this year. His craftsmanship was on display with each wine showing its unique terroir while also showing the winemaker’s commitment to quality. This 1999 was the Wine of the night - all the characteristics of Barolo but in a racy, alluring, impeccably balanced style with an endless finish. Has many more years ahead.
