The mouthfeel of the precise

There is a highly seductive mouthfeel to the round

lively and taut with loads of earthy/savory layers and great length

weight and power to the overtly muscular flavors that are also blessed with an abundance of dry extract that buffers the very firm acid backbone on the explosively long and palate staining finish

Light in style

Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco Santo Stefano other_regions_italy The mouthfeel of the preciseHappily, the 2011 Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Albesani Vigna Santo Stefano had no such issues, and confirmed itself as a wine of early appeal loaded with easy charm. Its drinking beautifully right now, a refined and silky quaff redolent of ripe red cherry and rose petal aromas and flavors, though this specific bottle seemed a little more evolved compared to other bottles of this wine I have tried recently.
