Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco 'Santo Stefano' 2008

Now with 12 years of age on it, this hauntingly aromatic Barbaresco is showing its best. The wine is loaded with texture, energy, and layered flavors of dried red fruits, tart cherries, crushed violets, orange rind, used leather, cloves, and sweet spice. Drink now or continue to lay down for 5-7 years.
