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.

This red label Riserva was made in 2012 and 2014 and will be released in 2016 and 2017. Bruna Giacosa and her team skipped over 2013 and 2015. However, the current release is the 2014 Barolo Riserva Falletto Vigna Le Rocche, and well, there's a lot to take in. Simply put, this is a beautiful wine that unfolds slowly with amazing intensity and complexity, delivering delicate notes of violets and candied orange peel that cede softly to darker tones of licorice, dried blackberry and savory spice. Give the wine the time it needs to open in the glass. This vintage flaunts its most elegant side, with fine tannins and soft fruity fiber that remains everlasting and pure. This estate is known for taking its biggest chances in the so-called off vintages. Betting on 2014 has turned out to be a brilliantly contemplated move.

The 2014 Barolo Riserva Falletto Vigna Le Rocche is a very pretty wine. Gentle and lilting in the glass, the Riserva is decidedly understated in this vintage. Sweet red cherry, mint, blood orange, spice and rose petal all open with time in the glass. In 2014, the Rocche is a mid-weight wine. It can't match the towering depth of the vintages like 1999, 2001 or 2004, but it is very nicely done and certainly a step forward. Time in the glass brings out exotic spice and citrus notes to round things out.
