Bruno Giacosa is a famous wine producer based in Piedmont, Italy, and is famous for its Barolo and Barbaresco appellations, made from the Nebbiolo grape variety. Many of Bruno Giacosa's wines come from trusted growers, rather than estate vineyards. The vineyard holdings now total 20 hectares and wines made from these vineyards are labeled 'Azienda Agricola Falletto'. Giacosa's wines are aged in traditional 5000l botti, though these are now made of French rather than the traditional Slovenian oak.

Antonio Galloni

The 2019 Barolo Falletto is a straightforward, tasty wine to drink now and over the next decade or so. Its quality level is equivalent to a straight Barolo from any good to outstanding producer, but with the tannic structure that suggests the ambition to be more than that. The 2019 offers modest mid-palate weight and overall complexity. Hints of cedar, tobacco, leather, licorice and spice struggle to emerge from a wall of overpowering tannin. Aeration softens the rough edges but does not add measurable expressiveness. This is neither bad nor great. The tannins lack the customary Giacosa polish.
