Falletto di Bruno Giacosa Barolo DOCG 2020
Vintage Character
The 2020 Barolo DOCG Falletto di Bruno Giacosa is a striking example of Nebbiolo from one of the region’s most esteemed single vineyards. The 2020 vintage in Piedmont was marked by a generally warm, dry summer, punctuated by well-timed rains in late August and early September, which helped preserve the grapes’ natural acidity and aromatic complexity. This favorable weather produced Barolos of notable elegance and balance, and the Falletto bottling was awarded 95 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, underscoring its pedigree and refinement.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
In the glass, it reveals an alluring bouquet of ripe red cherry, dried rose petals, and subtle tar, complemented by hints of sweet spice, orange peel, and earthy truffle. The palate is structured yet graceful, with fine-grained tannins, lively acidity, and a lingering finish layered with nuances of licorice and balsamic. This wine’s poise and depth make it an ideal match for classic Piedmontese dishes like tajarin with white truffle, as well as Western favorites such as roasted rack of lamb and aged Parmigiano-Reggiano.
Winery Background
Bruno Giacosa’s legacy is rooted in an unwavering commitment to quality and a profound respect for the traditions of Barolo. The Falletto vineyard, located in Serralunga d’Alba, forms the core of the estate’s Barolo production and is renowned for its calcareous clay soils and optimal south-facing exposure, which contribute to the wine’s concentration and complexity.
The estate practices meticulous vineyard management, including rigorous grape selection and low yields, to ensure purity and intensity in every bottle. In the cellar, Giacosa favors a traditional approach with minimal intervention, allowing the distinctive character of the Falletto terroir to shine through. This dedication to excellence has secured Bruno Giacosa’s reputation as one of Italy’s most revered producers, crafting wines that reflect both the unique spirit of their land and the vision of their maker.
