Il Dolcetto d'Alba DOC di Bruno Giacosa è un vino caratteristico che rappresenta al meglio l'essenza del Dolcetto, un vitigno tipico del Piemonte. Dal colore rosso rubino intenso con riflessi violacei, questo vino offre un bouquet olfattivo ricco e avvolgente. Al naso emergono note fruttate di ciliegia e mora, accompagnate da delicati sentori floreali di rosa e viola.

In bocca, il Dolcetto d'Alba di Bruno Giacosa si distingue per la sua freschezza e morbidezza. I tannini sono vellutati e ben integrati, conferendo una piacevole rotondità al palato. Il sapore fruttato si arricchisce di una leggera speziatura, con un finale lungo e persistente che lascia una sensazione di pulizia e armonia.

Questo vino è ideale per accompagnare piatti della cucina tradizionale piemontese, come agnolotti del plin, tajarin al ragù di carne, o carni rosse alla griglia. Grazie alla sua versatilità, si presta anche ad essere gustato con formaggi semi-stagionati e salumi.

Prodotto con metodi tradizionali e grande attenzione alla qualità, il Dolcetto d'Alba DOC di Bruno Giacosa è una scelta eccellente per chi cerca un vino autentico e rappresentativo del territorio piemontese. Ogni sorso racconta la passione e l'esperienza di un maestro del vino come Bruno Giacosa.

The winery Bruno Giacosa
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.
