Description

“You can sense the hallmarks of an elegant vintage in the beautifully direct and focused 2021 Barolo Falletto Bruno Giacosa. This gorgeous wine offers bright berry fruit, blue flowers and crushed stone. It is a well-rounded wine with an aromatic intensity that matches the depth of the mouthfeel and structure.” Wine Advocate

“This wine is all about purity, with cherries, strawberries, spices, sandalwood, iodine, shells and black truffle on the nose. Full-bodied, yet very balanced and concentrated, with a layering and verticality that continues. The Nebbiolo character is intense and beautiful. Pure fruit on the finish, with notes of flint and gunpowder.” James Suckling

“Made from vines averaging 35 years old, the Falletto flirts rather than flaunts. Red and blackcurrants form a backdrop to iron, sage, bay leaves and liquorice root. Elegance, cleanliness and precision are impeccably demonstrated, as is immense freshness, with a fiery acidity that brings vivacity and energy to the mouth. The tannins are fine and silky and steadily develop into a dignified force around a core of pulverized stone. Pressed rose and lilac perfume the finish.” Decanter
