1978 & 1989 Bruno Giacosa Barolo Riserva Collina Rionda

BY ANTONIO GALLONI |

I was very fortunate to be exposed to Bruno Giacosa’s wines when the circle of people who cared about them was tiny. It wasn’t that long ago these wines would appear at retail and sit for many, many months. Even the mythical red labels. I have some pretty fond memories of that era, like the day, somewhere around 2006 or 2007, when I stumbled into several pristine OWCs of the 2000 Barbaresco Riserva Asili for a song. Times have certainly changed. Bruno Giacosa is no longer with us, but these Barolos from his prime remain riveting testaments to an extraordinary legacy.
