Barolo, Vigna Giachini, 2000
A chunkier, less high-toned effort than the Arborina, bulldozing you over with its sheer exuberance of personality, offering notes of tobacco leaf, coffee bean, rich cherry fruit and with a long juicy finish.
critic reviews
The 2000 Barolo Giachini is close to or fully mature. Tobacco, earthiness, cedar, truffles and autumn leaves suggest the wine is best enjoyed sooner rather than later.
The 2000 Barolo Giachini is close to or fully mature. Tobacco, earthiness, cedar, truffles and autumn leaves suggest the wine is best enjoyed sooner rather than later. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014. These wines were made before brothers Renato and Giuliano Corino had divided their familys estate. Today the Rocche is made by Renato. Each brother bottles a Vecchie Vigne (old-vine) Barolo, but the vines that inform the 2000 currently belong to Giuliano.
