## About

Bruno Giacosa (1929 to 2018) began bottling wine under his own name in the early 1960s, after growing up in a family of grape and wine merchants started by his grandfather Carlo and continued by his father Mario. In 1964 he released one of the first single-vineyard Barbarescos, from the Santo Stefano vineyard in Neive. For years he bought grapes from established growers across Barolo and Barbaresco, then acquired vineyards of his own: Falletto in Serralunga d'Alba in 1982, and Asili and Rabajà in Barbaresco in 1996. The red-label Riserva bottlings are made only in exceptional vintages. Since his passing the house has been led by his daughter Bruna Giacosa with oenologist Dante Scaglione, keeping the traditional approach of long maceration and ageing in large Slavonian oak botti.
