Tasting notes
Corino's 1989 Barolo Vigna Giachini offers up cedar, mushrooms and a host of mostly mature aromas and flavors on a delicate, elegant frame. The tannins remain a touch firm, but there doesn't appear to be much upside in holding bottles too much longer.

The 1989 Barolo Vigna Giachini offers up cedar, mushrooms and a host of mostly mature aromas and flavors on a delicate, elegant frame. The tannins remain a touch firm, but there doesn’t appear to be much upside in holding bottles too much longer. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012. Brothers Renato and Giuliano Corino have since divided their family’s holdings, but these early Barolos set them apart as some of the most forward-thinking producers of their generation.
