Bruno Giacosa Barolo 2017

92 points | Wine Spectator

“Taut and elegant, with mulled plum and cherry flavors shaded by spice, tar and chocolate. Offers dusty, integrated tannins, and plays out slowly on the long finish. Best from 2024 through 2038.” (Feb 2022)

Piemonte’s Langhe region is famed for the great winemakers it has produced over the past century. Yet, few can rival Bruno Giacosa, not only for the stature of his work, but for the dizzying number of famous wines he made in a career that began in 1961 and ended with his death on January 21, 2018.

And while other men have made great wines in either Barolo or Barbaresco, only Giacosa, for more than a half century, produced a steady stream of heroic wines from both zones. In fact, so remarkable were his accomplishments that his legend transcends not only Piemonte, but Italy. He was, in short, one of the profoundly great winemakers of our time.

Tasting Note

Red garnet in color. Showcasing elegant and fine aromas of fresh plum, cherry and spice notes, the wine is dense and structured with great freshness on the palate and well-balanced tannins.
