October 25, 2020 - This was truly something to behold. So refined. So delicate. Yet so bold as to stand up to a bolognese. Giorgio, this is one of your better offerings. Why I am the first to review this beauty is beyond me. Certainly this wine will stand up for years to come, but 7 years in, those who have it should start enjoying this wonderful Barbaresco.
