Description

Italy / Piedmont / Barolo / Serralunga

It was only in 1982 that Bruno Giacosa bought his first own vineyard, the Falletto di Serralunga in Barolo. The Bruno Giacosa winery, founded in the early 1990s, now encompasses 20 hectares of vineyards in the top sites of Barbaresco (Asili and Rabaja) and Barolo (Falletto di Serralunga and La Morra). Giacosa firmly believed in non-invasive methods in the cellar, i.e., disturbing the wine as little as possible. As he did not believe in aging in new barriques or filtration, he was considered a traditionalist but was always open to new techniques and developments. With the support of his cellar master, Dante Scaglione, he became one of Italy's best winemakers. Following Giacosa's death, the company is run by his daughter Bruna, who has been in charge since 2004. The Falletto is the top cru site from one of the best vintages since 1982!

Origin in Focus

Piedmont

Piedmont in northwest Italy is regarded as the home of great, characterful wines. Between the gentle hills of Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, calcareous marl and sandy soils meet a cool continental climate with misty autumn days – ideal conditions for Nebbiolo, the demanding grape variety behind Barolo and Barbaresco. These wines often show pale colour, high acidity and fine-grained tannins, with aromas of roses, cherries, tar and truffle and pronounced ageing potential.

Culinarily, Piedmont is a paradise: Alba truffles, tajarin, brasato and fine cheeses pair perfectly with the wines. Visitors will find picturesque villages, historic cantine and expansive wine landscapes – a region where elegance, origin and time play the leading roles.
