Barolo, Vigna Giachini, 2004
The Giachini is a parcel in the lower part of the Rocche del'Annunziata vineyard. Totally complete and harmonious, round smooth but striking, strong but fine tannins clasp the floral, pure fruit flavours, perfumed crushed, creamy berry flavours notes of cranberry and strawberry, this shows a great balance between power and sweet fruit, almost like a blend of Arborina and Rocche. Utterly seductive. Aged in 50% new oak.
critic reviews
The 2004 Barolo Giachini is soft, open-knit and silky on the palate, showing all of the charm that is typical of this site and La Morra more broadly. Hints of violet, lavender, plum, cloves and new leather add shades of nuance on the voluptuous, textured finish. Early shades of complexity, especially in the bouquet, suggest the 2004 should be enjoyed over the next handful of years.
