2012 Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Asili
Antonio Galloni, Vinous, December 2015
“The 2012 Barbaresco Asili is the finest wine I have tasted from Bruno Giacosa since the 2007 vintage. A bright, beautifully translucent red, the 2012 Asili captures the essence of this great site in its perfumed aromatics, silky fruit and understated depth. Hints of orange zest, rose petal, cinnamon and pine are laced into the resonant, alluring finish. Already quite open and expressive, the 2012 should drink well for the next decade or so. Giacosa fans will find much to admire in the sexy, open-knit 2012 Asili. This is a tremendous showing, and one of the very best 2012s readers will come across.”

2012 Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Asili
Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, June 2015
“Bruno Giacosa's 2012 Barbaresco Asili benefitted from a warm growing season. The wine opens to a dark, compact appearance and shows an impressive level of aromatic intensity and complexity. The tannins are slightly less mature and more astringent in 2012 compared to 2011. This bodes well for the aging potential of this beautiful wine. Fresh acidity caps a very pretty portrait of the Nebbiolo grape. This is a lovely offering from this historic producer.”

2015 Ricasoli Brolio Chianti Classico DOCG
Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2018
“The 2015 Chianti Classico Brolio is a very pretty, gracious wine with lovely fruit purity and terrific balance. Sweet raspberry and floral notes give the wine freshness and aromatic lift. Soft, open-knit and silky, the 2015 has much to offer. I would prefer to drink it sooner rather later. Dollops of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon complement the Sangiovese nicely.”

2014 Donnafugata Tancredi
James Suckling, James Suckling, October 2018
“Clove, vanilla and dust character comes through on the nose, but there’s plenty of underbrush, pine needles and brambleberries to counter that. The palate shows a structured, tannin backbone that’s quite chewy, and the dark fruit flavors roll over spicy components to the medium-long finish. Drink in 2020.”
