Bruno Giacosa

Vigna Le Rocche Riserva 2016

Bruno Giacosa

Case Format: 6x75cl

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.

CRITIC REVIEWS

Jancis Robinson

Intense colour – even more than 2017. More closed on the nose. But with masses of tar and liquorice going on underneath. Lots of tannins still. This is a muscular wine that is, at the moment, exclusively communicating potential. But it’s impressively long and pure. Masses of liquorice and undertow. Very persistent and complex. Should become a superstar.

This is the second 100-point Vigna Le Rocche, following the 2015. What the former had in intensity of fruit and transparency, this has in structure and power. The purity of fruit is sensational in this young Barolo, offering blackberries, black truffle and iron. Rust too. This is so tannic and powerful with incredible structure. This may be the most structured Barolo from Bruno Giacosa I have ever tasted as a young wine. Speechless. Full-bodied and so intense, yet it remains fresh and agile. Traditional in every sense of the word, but this is clear and clean. A classic in the making. It will be in the market January 2022. Leave this for at least six to eight years. Try in 2027.
