From the oldest vines of Contrada Caselle, this is a nod to the great wines of Collio. The Carricante undergoes 10 months of skin contact in 2000-litre barrels. “The wine exhibits aromas of candied fruit, honey, apricot and salted almond. Its full-bodied texture would stand-up to white meats or veal” (Monica Larner, Wine Advocate).

Sitting literally on the border of the denomination at 1000 meters of altitude, the fruit is sourced from a tiny plot of 120 year old vines producing an average of half a kilogram of berries per plant. This is considered the Grand Cru of Pietradolce and is an outstanding expression of Rampante. “Exceptionally long, structured and classically dry, the 2020...

The elegant Barolo Falletto has a fine, elegant aroma with notes of fresh red fruit and spice. On the palate it presesnts a good structure and freshness with well balanced tannins.

"2022 being a warmer growing season is giving slightly darker notes on the nose, red and blue berries. Fleshy and rich. This Nebbiolo glides over the mouth with warmth and generosity, finishes with a burst of bright red fruits and pleasantly." Armit Wines

"The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is a fascinating interpretation of Vigneti di Versante.

"Rose petals with beautifully intertwined notes of chocolate and Indian spices. Among the best expressions of Asili with hard to articulate focus and elegance. Young but already showing plenty of class. Magnificent." Armit Wines

"The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino impresses straight away for its exuberance, tell-tale of the vintage: its alluring perfume and ethereal profile hide the underlying concentration and depth of this wine. A dense core of steeped violets and rose petals is wrapped around a layer of juicy, ripe wild berries and spice. The acid backbone and fine-grained, velvety tannins lifting the...

"A classic Giacosa Falletto showing real authority: concentrated and tight showing great purity. Fresh and lifted with bright aromatics. The herbal character enlivens the sip, finishing with a touch of mint and chocolate. Tannins are perfectly integrated. Great." Armit Wines

"A beautiful expression from the great Falletto vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba, a Giacosa family Monopole and with ideal South West exposure. Red cherry, blood orange and rose petal unfurl from the glass. With time this offers further nuances of leather and truffle. Distinctly grippy and mineral, this is hallmark Giacosa." Armit Wines
