"Refined, complex and nuanced nose with grainy minerals, grapefruit, white pepper and a mossy edge. Transparent but broad on the palate with lots of crushed wet stones and a tight, nervy finish. Delicate but powerful and ethereal too. Lots of finesse and texture. Drink from 2026."

"Ruby in color, the 2020 Barolo Giachini brings forward a more medicinally spiced profile, with notes of menthol, Bing cherries, wild herbs, and tarry earth. Medium-bodied, it is another very well-styled wine with snappy lift, a saline finish, and good ripeness throughout. It has finely coiled tannins and even acidity. Drink 2025-2035. I'm impressed with these wines from Fratelli."

"The 2020 Barolo Giachini comes across as quite closed today. The aromatics are expressive, and yet the wine feels much more reticent on the palate. Sweet red cherry, leather, pipe tobacco, cedar and dried flowers open with great reluctance. It will be interesting to see if time in bottle helps this come together a bit more fully."
