Tasting notes
The1967 Barolo Collina Rionda (white label) was initially the better of the two 1967s but over time it faded a bit, while the Riserva got better and better once some initial awkwardness blew off. The 1967 Barolo Riserva Collina Rionda was initially so closed in on itself I thought it was flawed, but sure enough, over several hours the fruit emerged gradually and it eventually surpassed the white label by a wide margin. Dark red fruit, iron, leather, licorice and tar were among the many nuances that came to life in this surprisingly muscular Barolo. What a magical wine!

About the producer
Bruno Giacosa – now run by daughter Bruna – is a cult Nebbiolo producer, that has consistently made some of the best single-vineyard Barbaresco and Barolo from the 1960s onwards. The“red-label” Riservas are some of the finest and most collectable wines in Italy.
