Falletto di Bruno Giacosa, Falletto, Barolo DOCG 2021

GRAPES VARITETIES: 100% Nebbiolo

 

TASTING NOTES: This is all about purity, with cherries, strawberries, spices, sandalwood, iodine, seashells and black truffles on the nose. Full-bodied but so balanced and focused, with layering and vertically that go on and on. The nebbiolo character is intense and gorgeous. Some pure fruit at the end, with notes of flint and gunpowder.

 

FOOD PAIRINGS: Lamb | Tortellini | Red Meats | Parmesan

 

BRAND NAME: Faletto di Giacosa

 

One of the world’s legendary winemakers, Bruno Giacosa crafted exceptional Barolo and Barbaresco wines from single vineyards for nearly eight decades. He joined the family business at just 15, representing the third generation of Langhe winemakers. Giacosa’s relentless pursuit of perfection, combined with his refined palate and profound knowledge of the Langhe vineyards, quickly earned him recognition and helped elevate Piedmont to the forefront of the world’s fine wine regions. In the 1980s, Giacosa began acquiring prized plots in Serralunga d’Alba, La Morra, and Barbaresco, producing wines considered among the purest expressions of Nebbiolo. His legacy lives on through his daughter Bruna, who upholds her father’s winemaking philosophy—respecting traditional methods while embracing the best of modern technology. The goal remains the same: to ensure each vineyard produces wines of unique character and unmistakable identity.
