Bruno Giacosa Barolo Falletto di Serralunga 2016

Italy / Piedmont / Barolo / Serralunga

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