"This year's top-end release from Bruno Giacosa is the 2017 Barolo Riserva Falletto Vigna Le Rocche (in the red label). Bottled in 2019, the wine stands apart thanks to a hot and dry growing season that Bruna Giacosa is very excited about.

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.

This deliciously rich and luxurious red exhibits the true character of the Nebbiolo grape. Concentrated aromas of red cherry, sweet spice and aromatic rose petal. The palate is intense and punchy with notes of tobacco, dark fruit and a subtle earthy note. The finish is super smooth with velvety tannins.

"A fine and pretty Barolo with plenty of strawberry and mushroom character. White truffle, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied and creamy with medium, round tannins. Delicious now and will improve nicely." 94, James Suckling
