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.

Giacosa’s 2004 Barolo Falletto is so compelling it will be hard not to drink it in its youth. This gorgeous Barolo reveals a deeply structured frame layered with sweet dark fruit, mint, spice and pine. At once delicate and powerful, it is a beautifully finessed wine that is sure to provide much pleasure. A recent bottle of the 1982 is a testament to the virtues of this great site as interpreted by Bruno Giacosa. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024. Bruno Giacosa’s profound 2004s, which I first wrote about in Issue 173, continue with these superb Barolos, all of which merit close attention. I also had a chance to re-taste the 2004 Barbarescos and they were as impressive as they have been on previous occasions.

The 2004 Barolo Falletto di Serralunga d’Alba soars from the moment it is served. Sensual and beautifully layered in the glass, the 2004 offers up a heady mélange of dark-toned fruit, leather, cedar, tobacco and spice box. At nearly 20 years of age, the 2004 remains magnificent. When all is said and done, 2004 ranks among Bruno Giacosa’s greatest vintages for the quality and number of epic wines he made.
