Barolo Collina Rionda Riserva Giacosa 1990

750 ml Nebbiolo Piedmont, Italy 1990

Barolo Collina Rionda Riserva Giacosa 1990 is a dry, full-bodied red from Nebbiolo (Barolo, Italy), in the medium, savoury reds style. Tannins are moderate and acidity very high; oak influence is some. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 36-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with beef stew, mushroom risotto, bolognese, lamb.
