Bruno Giacosa 'Falletto' Barolo 2016

Bruno Giacosa is one of the most famous names in Piedmont and particularly well known for their incredibly perfumed and structured Nebbiolos within both the Barolo and Barbaresco appellations.

Review

"The Bruno Giacosa 2016 Barolo Falletto (white label) brings us another extraordinary expression from a classic vintage. Serralunga d'Alba fruit is full, generous and thickly layered in a manner that you always hope to encounter when lucky enough to drink pedigree Nebbiolo. There is enormous density here and power and grace; however, the Barolo Falletto is seemingly weightless and ever so delicate as it warms smoothly over the senses. Crisp cherry and blackberry are followed by delicate tones of crushed stone and iron ore. Bright tones of grilled herb and blue flower lift gently from the bouquet and add to the balanced intensity of this collectors' vintage." - 97pts, Wine Advocate
