2019 Bruno Giacosa Falletto Barolo

About This Wine

This Barolo, made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes from the renowned Falletto vineyard, is characterized by its intense red garnet color and a complex, elegant bouquet. It typically offers aromas of strawberries, plums, red fruits, and berries, often accompanied by notes of rose, bark, mushrooms, tar, juniper, and wild herbs. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with excellent structure and finely tuned, often supple and velvety tannins. It showcases a balance of fruit and savory elements, with a lively acidity and considerable tension and tightness. The finish is typically long and persistent, hinting at great aging potential. While attractive in its youth, this is a wine built for the long term, often recommended for cellaring for several years to allow its full complexity to unfold.
