On Saturday February 6th, 2016 the Italian wine world lost a legend. Giacomo Tachis, a legendary enologist and consultant to many Italian wineries throughout Italy, passed away in his hometown of San Casciano in the Val di Pesa of Tuscany at the age of 82 years old.
Throughout his life he advised, produced, and in same cases co-owned, many Italian wineries providing the keys to winemaking success. Giacomo was born in Piedmont in 1933. He graduated from the Enological School of Alba in Piedmont. He worked for some local wineries and distilleries in Bologna, but it wasn't until 1961 when he really kick started his wine career.
