Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco Santo Stefano other_regions_italy lively and taut with loadsHappily, 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.
