Barbaresco, Santo Stefano di Neive--Vintage 1997
Piedmont, B. Giacosa
Lot 760 in original wooden case. Lot 761 in three-magnum original wooden cases. Lot 762 in six-bottle original wooden cases
"This wine exhibits more glycerin and up-front fruit as well as character than the more backward 1996. It reveals good black cherry fruit, spice box, cedar, and tobacco leaf characteristics in its full-bodied, dense, expansive, rich, low acid personality. Unlike most Giacosa wines this effort will be ready to drink when released, and will age nicely for 10-15 years." Wine Advocate, Issue 124, 08/27/00
