“Bruna, Bruno Giacosa's daughter, took over the complete running of the estate following Bruno's death in January 2018, having been closely involved since 2011. Bruna had to face some difficult decisions in the 2018 vintage and decided not to release any single vineyard Barolo due to insufficient quantities following a rigorous sorting in the vineyard. This resulted in a blend of Falletto and Falletto Vigna Le Rocche grapes for this release. The straight 2018 Barolo is therefore an incredibly complex wine with grapes from two of the most highly saught after vineyards.
The nose has a clear Mediterranean character, with hints of rosemary, bay leaf and juniper berries. It is ripe and concentrated, but with a clear and precise mineral character. The palate is dense and generous. The firm character of tannins and a precise freshness gives balance and character to the wine. A very gastronomic approach and a worthy expression of 2018. Drink from 2023 to 2040."
