The 2011 Barolo Falletto, dry, 14,5% vol., Bruno Giacosa

Garnet. Intense nose of spices and dry fruits. In the mouth full, long-lasting, harmonious and elegant. Very long finish, huge potential. The wine is allowed to carry only the location name Falletto for legal reasons, the place name Serralunga is no longer allowed. 94 Parker points. Bruno Giacosa is one of the last traditionalists of Piedmontese viticulture. Barriques he rejects in principle, its wines are not filtered. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, the expansion in large French oak barrels. Barolo and Barbaresco may carry no more place name in the location name from the 2009 vintage, this wine was formerly named Falletto di Serralunga.
