    Winemaker Notes

    On the nose, this wonderful Barbaresco offers rich aromas of ripe black cherry, raspberry, cedar, chocolate, truffle, and resin. Big, thick, and ripe, yet elegant and refined, this wine has a juicy acidity that is backed up by several layers of rich fruit. Recommended with roasted or grilled red and white meats, barbecued sausages, game and veal casseroles. Also delicious with medium-aged and sharp cheese. Made from 100% Nebbiolo from the prestigious Asili vineyard. This parcel yields only 1.2 tons per acre, an extremely low yield for the area. The wine is aged in French oak for 30 months and several months in bottle to obtain greater elegance and finesse.

    One of the legendary winemakers of the world, Bruno Giacosa crafted the most prestigious single-vineyard Barolo and Barbaresco wines during a career that spanned nearly eight decades. He joined the family business at the age of 15, representing the third generation of his Langhe winemaking family. Giacosa’s unfailing pursuit of perfection, his unrivalled palate and his intimate knowledge of vineyards in the Langhe quickly drew recognition and helped establish Piedmont as a leading wine region. In 1982, Giacosa began to acquire prime parcels in Serralunga d’Alba, La Morra and Barbaresco to produce wines that are rightly regarded as the finest expressions of Nebbiolo. 

    His legacy rests with daughter Bruna, who continues to uphold her father’s winemaking philosophy to respect traditional techniques while using the best of modern technology. The goal is for each distinguished site to produce articulate, unique wines. 

    The “Azienda Agricola Falletto – di Bruno Giacosa” label represents wines made from estate vineyards. The “Casa Vinicola Bruno Giacosa” label appears on wines made from purchased grapes that are made with the same care in the Nieve winery.
