The 2022 vintage yielded a Barbera of generous character, at once approachable, open and fragrant on the nose. The palate is concentrated and dense, firm in structure and tannin but not overripe. Potentially for earlier drinking than 2021 and 2020, this is a delightful wine to enjoy young. Drink from 2025 to 2032.
The company’s philosophy has been to follow a traditional style, whilst using selected modern technology to obtain the finest expression from each terroir. The late Bruno believed that great wines are born from the vines by the expert hands of the growers, and the new releases from the estate, overseen by his daughter Bruna, are a testament to his beliefs.
There is no more significant name in Piedmont than ‘el Maestro’ Bruno Giacosa. His reputation as one of the greatest winemakers in the history of Piedmont has been built over 50+ years and the estate boasts some of the most celebrated holdings in the region, notably Asili in Barbaresco and Falletto and Falletto Vigna Le Rocche in Serralunga d’Alba, Barolo.
Notably, the estate does not shy away from going against consensus and only releasing wines that live up to their very high standards.
