Barolo Giacosa 2001

750 ml Nebbiolo Piedmont, Italy 2001

Barolo Giacosa 2001 is a dry, full-bodied red from Nebbiolo (Barolo, Italy), in the full, structured reds style. Tannins are very firm and acidity very high; oak influence is little. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 25-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with beef stew, mushroom risotto, steak, lamb.
