Descrizione

The Falletto Barbaresco DOCG - Asili by Bruno Giacosa is a red wine that offers a refined and restrained profile. Classically styled, it leans toward a balance of freshness and structure without excess, with aromatic impressions of ripe red fruit, restrained floral notes and spicy hints. Its tannic presence is noticeable yet integrated, contributing to a full but controlled flavor structure. The texture is finely delineated and the finish leaves a saline, lingering sensation.

On the palate it shows a coherent progression, where acidity supports the sip and invites contemplative drinking or pairing with traditional, characterful dishes. This is a wine that favors measure over power, suitable for those seeking finesse and persistence without ostentation. Serve at a moderate temperature, using glasses that highlight its aromatic profile; it pairs well with roasted meats, mushroom preparations and aged cheeses, according to personal taste.

Winery history

Family-rooted firm; Bruno Giacosa bottled wines from the 1960s, originally working as a commerciante buying selected grapes. He later acquired premier cru vineyards (including Falletto in Serralunga and parcels in Asili and Rabajà). Bruno Giacosa died on 21 January 2018; stewardship continued with his daughters.

Production philosophy

An 'updated-traditional' approach: strict focus on grape quality, long macerations, use of large casks and a move to French oak for ageing. Very selective policy—wines are declassified or not bottled if they do not meet standards.

Terroir and vineyards

Langhe (Piedmont). Based in Neive; estate holdings and historic parcels include Falletto (Serralunga d'Alba) and Barbaresco crus such as Asili and Rabajà, with presence across key MGA of Barolo and Barbaresco.

Awards and recognitions

Recognitions and honors: among the publicly reported honors, Bruno Giacosa was awarded an honorary degree by the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Bra.
