Descrizione

The Falletto Barbaresco DOCG - Riserva Asili by Bruno Giacosa is a red wine with a restrained, refined personality. In the glass it shows an intense colour; on the nose it opens with aromas of ripe red fruits, delicate floral notes and a well-integrated spicy weave. On the palate it displays balance between acidity and structure, with present yet polished tannins and a persistence that invites further sips. The overall impression is one of composure and elegance, with a finish that leaves room for fruity and aromatic echoes.

It pairs well with red meats, game and aged cheeses, as well as dishes featuring mushrooms and flavorful sauces. It is advisable to serve the wine in large glasses to enhance its olfactory and gustatory profile, and to approach it slowly to catch the different nuances that emerge during tasting. A product that demands attention but rewards patience.

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.
