This is a very terroir-driven wine, but it needs more time in the bottle to fully develop

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.
