One of the legendary winemakers of the world, Bruno Giacosa crafted the most prestigious single-vineyard Barolo and Barbaresco wines during a career that spanned nearly eight decades. He joined the family business at the age of 15, representing the third generation of his Langhe winemaking family. Giacosa’s unfailing pursuit of perfection, his unrivaled palate, and his intimate knowledge of vineyards in the Langhe quickly drew recognition and helped establish Piedmont as a leading wine region. His legacy rests with daughter Bruna, who continues to uphold her father’s winemaking philosophy to respect traditional techniques while using the best of modern technology. Structured like a Barolo but with more polish, ripe fruit offering pleasure right out of the gate, this is next-level, cellar-worthy Barbera.
This 2014 offering has melded into a brilliant alchemy of vivid violets and herbal infused aromatics.   Intense red cherries grace the palate from start to finish. Layers of licorice, graphite, and plum preserves add to the vibrant red-fruited core. Extremely balanced with dusty mild tannins on the finish. The extra bottle age has paid off in spades. This is more versatile with food than any of Giacosa’s Nebbiolo offerings.
