The purity of fruit to this is truly outstanding, with dried strawberries, spices and flowers, including roses. Full body with ultra-fine tannins and a beautiful fruit-tannin balance. Super-elegant. This is a joy to taste now but will reward those who are patient. Wait until 2016 and see.
95 points, James Suckling

A rich, dark wine with superb intensity of flavour and great balance from a unique vineyard site at the top of the hill. The elegant bouquet is reminiscent of delicate strawberries, roses and ripe red fruits with a hint of exotic herbs and truffles. The palate is rich and layered with generous, dark cherry flavours balanced by smooth, velvety tannins and refreshing acidity. Exotic spices, truffles and chocolate with wild herb characters and a mineral note on the finish add depth and complexity. This very complex wine will be delicious to drink in a few years. Drink from 2017. A rich, dark wine with superb intensity.
Armit Wines

Round and supple, with firm tannins underneath, this red evokes cherry, wild strawberry, tobacco, leather and underbrush flavors. Harmonious in a taut, dense way, offering a long, savory finish. Becomes racier with air, showing fine energy and drive.
95 Points, Wine Spectator

Tasting Notes

Garnet red colour. Ample, complex and elegant bouquet with reminiscences of rose, ripe fruit, truffle and spices. Its flavour is dry, full, generous, harmonious and velvety.

ProducerBruno Giacosa

Known as the “Genius of Neive”, Bruno Giacosa’s mastery of Nebbiolo was widely recognised amongst wine lovers. His single-vineyards Barolo and Barbaresco set new standards for the whole regions, allowing a unique blend of traditional and cutting-edge methods. His research of perfection was passed on to his daughter Bruna, who has been at the helm of the estate since 2006, blessing us with some of the most electrifying wines in our portfolio. From the floral Barbera to the tensest Nebbiolos, Bruno Giacosa’s wines are an incredible delight to discover.
