Red
Falletto Vigna Le Rocche Riserva
By Bruno Giacosa, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy
Vigna Le Rocche is a monopole parcel within the Falletto vineyard with ideal south-west exposure; its rare red-label Riserva release is treated as a barometer of the vintage's quality.
Tasting notes
Powerful and complex, with dark fruit, rusty earth, wet clay and blood orange. Structured, with long ageing potential.
