"From an east-facing site in Treiso and produced in very small quantities, the 2023 Barbaresco Giacosa pours a bright transparent ruby hue. Aromas of fresh raspberries, dusty earth, flowers, and anise emerge from the glass. Medium-bodied, it has a cooling feel with refreshing tension and well-defined structure. The wine was aged in a 3,000-liter barrel and one tonneau. Drink 2026-2040."

"The Mauro Molino 2023 Barbaresco Giacosa is a more transparent and finely etched expression than the Casot, despite the fact that both wines come from nearby vineyards in Treiso. From a 0.8-hectare site with east and southeast exposures, the wine offers wild raspberry, pithy red fruit and a persistent mineral note of crushed limestone and chalk dust that drives the bouquet. I prefer this profile to the more monotone Casot because it reveals greater delicacy and nuance while remaining beautifully focused in its lighter, more streamlined style. Produced in 5,621 bottles, this is only the second vintage of the estate's new Barbaresco project."

"A restrained, if not low-key wine, showing licorice, red currants and red cherries. Medium-bodied and quite taut on the palate, with crisp acidity and firm, dusty tannins. Quintessential nebbiolo: austere and angular in the finish. Try after 2028."
