"The 2022 Barbaresco Asili is gorgeous. Silky, aromatic and light on its feet, the 2022 is classic Asili all the way. Its translucent finesse and energy are remarkable. Today, the 2022 is a bit stern in terms of its tannins. While I don’t see the seductive fruit and inner perfume of Giacosa's best Asilis, the 2022 is still one of...

"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

"The 2020 Barbaresco Asili Riserva is a sensual beauty. Dark and expansive on the palate, with gorgeous resonance, the 2020 is seriously impressive. Wild cherry, lavender, cedar, new leather and spice build effortlessly in the glass as the 2020 works its way through the mid-palate and into its beautifully reverberating finish. The 2020 is quite simply one of the very...

"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

"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

"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

"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. In fact, she prefers 2017 to 2015, although the two vintages do share similarities. This wine is very...

"Red berries and rose petals, textbook Nebbiolo elevated to perfection. Piano wire tension carrying the wine from start to finish, the tannins are plentiful and rich without being astringent acting as the backbone holding the fruit expression tight but allowing individual expression as the wine sits on the mid palate. Needs time but already so compelling! Stunning Giacosa brilliance." Armit...
