Falletto Barbaresco DOCG 1997 - Asili - Bruno Giacosa 1997

This Barbaresco DOCG 1997 by Bruno Giacosa brings together the sites listed on the label, Falletto and Asili, in a bottle that reflects the maturity of its vintage. The explicit naming of the producer and the year suggests an evolved wine: a more mature colour, emerging tertiary notes and a complexity acquired over time. It is a label to handle with care regarding storage and serving temperature, preferably after periodic checks on the bottle's condition.

In the glass it shows notes of ripe fruit, light earthy hints and subtle spice, with tannins now smoothed and a saline return on the finish; the profile remains harmonious and measured. Recommended with moderately structured dishes, roasted red meats or aged cheeses, or to be enjoyed on its own as a historical expression of the house. For those with multiple bottles, it is prudent to taste them in sequence to understand the variability of the vintage and storage.
