About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The estate owns a 5.5-hectare plot in Asili. Yields are deliberately kept low to express the nuances of the terroir.

Vinification

The grapes are carefully sorted before vinification.

Ageing

The wine matures for 20 months in French oak barrels. It is then assessed and, if it meets Bruno Giacosa’s quality standards, bottled and held for a further eight months in the winery’s cellars before release.

Tasting profile

The wine has finesse and elegance.

Label / history

The winery uses two labels: Bruno Giacosa for wines made from purchased grapes and Falletto for wines from its own vineyards. Bruno Giacosa personally oversees the quality of purchased fruit. The estate vineyards cover 20 hectares across Serralunga d’Alba, La Morra and Barbaresco.
