Wines from F.lli Giacosa

• Barbaresco: Barbaresco DOCG, Nebbiolo, Red. The estate's entry-level Barbaresco, made from Nebbiolo grown across their vineyards; the producer notes that even plots within the same subarea give differing characteristics.
• Barbera d'Alba: Barbera d'Alba DOC, Barbera, Red. The estate's entry-level Barbera d'Alba, described by the producer as improving further with several years in bottle.
• Barolo: Barolo DOCG, Nebbiolo, Red. The estate's entry-level Barolo, made entirely from Nebbiolo grown in the family's Langhe hillside vineyards.
• Basarin: Barbaresco DOCG, Nebbiolo, Red. Barbaresco from the Basarin hill in Neive, where the family's Nebbiolo vines benefit from a particular exposure that the producer says gives the wine its maturity and structure.
• Basarin "Vigna Gianmatè": Barbaresco DOCG, Nebbiolo, Red. Barbaresco from the Gianmate plot on the Basarin hill, whose clay-rich sandstone soil and south/southeast exposure the producer says give it a distinct aromatic complexity from the rest of the hill.
