Barbaresco Giacone

Medium

Cork

With significant holdings in the Giacone MGA, Lodali makes two separate Barbaresco. The younger vines are destined for the Rocche dei 7 Fratelli label, while the older vines – planted in the 1960s – are reserved for this MGA bottling. The warm southern exposure is evident in the plushness and structure of the well calibrated 2023. Rose, thyme blossom and cinnamon introduce, with a spiciness taking the lead on the palate. A complex, persistent mix of earthy herbs and perfumed florals weaving through the ripe plum and red cherry backdrop. The tannins rise confidently, giving a crisp, sturdy backbone. It remains gracious rather than hard.
