From the Barbera to the stunning Red-Label bottlings, the name of Bruno Giacosa is a beacon of unmatched quality. His sixty-year reign over the humble family estate provided bottles that, sixty years later still live on with great power, poise and an added, elevating element that can't be matched by nearly anyone in the world of wine.

Bruno Giacosa

Once Bruno joined his Giacosa family of winemakers at the ripe age of fifteen, the wine world immediately changed. As the third generation in charge, the house had long depended on farming contracts, acting as negociants in Barolo and Barbaresco with their intimate knowledge of the local vineyards. This knowledge became even more important when, in 1980, Giacosa began to acquire parcels of his own. 

As his legend grew among the wine community both Italian and external, Bruno remained humble and preferred to focus on making his wine, his way. As detail-oriented as any winemaker in existence, his palate was such that he could sense a certain special energy emitting from a particular barrel or plot, and that wine would receive what became a hallowed honor: the Red Label. Red Labeled- wines, the "Speciale" bottlings, only released when deemed worthy. 

In 2006, Bruno's daughter Bruna took over the handling of the estate, having learned under her father's wing for decades. While the passing of Bruno in 2018 was a massive loss for the family and the world of wine, Bruna's determination carries on her father's legacy, and the famous, classy labels live on is his honor.

The 2000 Barolo Riserva Le Rocche del Falletto is like silk on the palate. Sweet, ripe tannins frame an exquisite core of fruit. The 2000 is remarkably elegant, sensual and polished but it doesn’t quite provide the visceral thrill of the most monumental vintages. Still, this is a very strong showing from a wine that has frankly never moved me emotionally. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2020. Bruno Giacosa has long been a fan of the 2000 vintage. I found his 2000s quite forward when I tasted them at the winery in November 2010, but far fresher when I opened the same bottles from my cellar in the US.

The 2000 Barolo Riserva Le Rocche del Falletto is soft and quite open in feel. It also shows a slightly roasted quality it has always had that is a hallmark of this warm vintage. Sweet red cherry, smoke, leather and tobacco add shades of nuance throughout. Although not likely to be a long-term ager by Giacosa standards, the 2000 is quite enjoyable tonight.
