Bruno Giacosa

Vigna Le Rocche Riserva 2011

Bruno Giacosa

Case Format: 3x150cl

One of the most respected producers in Piedmont, Bruno Giacoso are famed for their unwavering commitment to Nebbiolo, and their intense and expressive Barbaresco and Barolos.
Now under the stewardship of Bruno’s daughter, Bruna, she continues to grow the estate from strength to strength, and has carved a fascinating path for herself within the Italian fine wine community.

Their “red label” Riservas, such as the Le Rocche del Falletto Barolo are only created within the very best vintages. Some of the most sought-after wines in Italy, the production of these are extremely limited.

With a bouquet that features hints of cherries, roasted herbs, tar and crunchy red fruits, this is a wine that continually unfurls to reveal an intense depth, complete with beautiful femininity. This wine is medium bodied, mildly acidic, and its tannins are silky and smooth.

James Suckling

This reminds me of the perfect 2000. Aromas of blackberries, violets, smoke and sliced plums. Subtle, classic beauty for the nose. Full-bodied yet tight and refined. It starts off very slowly, but the finish comes after one minute of tasting. Spellbinding wine. So savory and salty. Extraordinary. 7,000 bottles.

Here we have the venerated red label. The Bruno Giacosa 2011 Barolo Riserva Falletto Vigne Le Rocche commands attention and respect. The wine successfully, and somewhat magically, turns the tables on the overdone exuberance of the warm vintage and the natural heft that is inherent to Serralunga dAlba. It does a great job of reining in all that power and transforming it into streamlined elegance instead. The wine opens to a dark and penetrating color and an immediately expressive bouquet. Thick layers of dark fruit, iron-rich earth, balsam herb, Darjeeling tea, dried ginger and cherry cola rise from the bouquet. The wines Falletto signature is very strong. This is a Grande Vino with the proverbial capital G and capital V.
