FS: 1998 Giacosa Barbaresco Riserva Santo Stefano ''Red Label'

Commerce Corner - Wine Classifieds

One 750ml bottle of 1998 Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Riserva Santo Stefano. I purchased upon release and it has been in my temperature controlled cellar ever since. $299. What peaked my interest to sell was an email from Chambers Street this week offering a 750ml for $325.

I have a perfect rating on eBay and sold on eBob and Wine Commune several years ago. Buyer to pay shipping costs

Thanks,

Are you sure this is the wine you have? To my knowledge, this wine was not bottled in magnums. In particular, Giacosa puts the number of magnums on all the labels of that wine when he makes them. Compare the 2004 Asili on the left with the 1998 SSR on the right:

You can see that there were mags and double mags made of the Asili but not the SSR.

If I’m wrong, can you send me a photo of the mag you have?

Ken,

Thanks so much! You are correct! I looked at the wrong entry in Cellar Tracker and saw a different Giacosa in 1.5L. It is in fact a 750ml. Listing is edited. Sorry for any confusion.
