Falletto
By Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy
Falletto was Bruno Giacosa's first vineyard purchase, acquired in 1982 in Serralunga d'Alba, and remains the estate's benchmark Barolo.
Tasting notes
Red cherry, blood orange and rose petal, developing leather and truffle notes with age. Grippy, mineral and structured, with the traditionalist backbone typical of Giacosa's Nebbiolo.
