Il Nebbiolo d'Alba DOC di Bruno Giacosa è un vino iconico che incarna tutte le caratteristiche distintive del vitigno Nebbiolo, ampiamente celebrato in Piemonte. La cantina Bruno Giacosa, con la sua lunga storia di eccellenza e dedizione alla qualità, offre un prodotto che affascina per la sua complessità e la sua eleganza.

Alla vista, il vino presenta un colore rosso granato brillante, tipico del Nebbiolo in purezza. All'olfatto, il bouquet è particolarmente raffinato, con aromi di viola, rosa appassita, frutti di bosco e note speziate di pepe nero e liquirizia. Sensazioni balsamiche e un leggero sentore di cuoio conferiscono ulteriore profondità al profilo aromatico.

In bocca, il Nebbiolo d'Alba di Bruno Giacosa è elegante e armonioso. I tannini sono ben presenti ma finemente integrati, offrendo una struttura solida senza risultare eccessivamente aggressivi. L'acidità è vivace e bilanciata, contribuendo a un finale lungo e persistente. I sapori di frutta rossa matura, come ciliegia e lampone, si intrecciano con note terrose e minerali, creando un insieme complesso e affascinante.

Questo vino si abbina splendidamente con piatti tradizionali piemontesi come il brasato al Barolo, gli agnolotti e i formaggi stagionati. Il Nebbiolo d'Alba DOC di Bruno Giacosa è un'esperienza sensoriale che rispecchia tutta la maestria e la passione per il territorio di un grande produttore.

Pioneer of single-cru bottlings in Barbaresco. A renowned Nebbiolo traditionalist using extended maceration and aging in large casks. Estate holdings and production are divided between Casa Vinicola Bruno Giacosa and Azienda Agricola Falletto. Historic headquarters in Neive. The company reports managing approximately 50 hectares of vineyards and a declared production capacity of around 600,000 bottles per year.
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.
