Bruno Giacosa

Vigna Le Rocche Riserva 2017

Bruno Giacosa

Case Format: 6x75cl

One of the most respected producers in Piedmont, Bruno Giacoso are famed for their unwavering commitment to Nebbiolo, and their intense and expressive Barbaresco and Barolos.
Now under the stewardship of Bruno’s daughter, Bruna, she continues to grow the estate from strength to strength, and has carved a fascinating path for herself within the Italian fine wine community.

Their “red label” Riservas, such as the Le Rocche del Falletto Barolo are only created within the very best vintages. Some of the most sought-after wines in Italy, the production of these are extremely limited.

With a bouquet that features hints of cherries, roasted herbs, tar and crunchy red fruits, this is a wine that continually unfurls to reveal an intense depth, complete with beautiful femininity. This wine is medium bodied, mildly acidic, and its tannins are silky and smooth.

CRITIC REVIEWS

Monica Larner

This years top-end release from Bruno Giacosa is the 2017 Barolo Riserva Falletto Vigna Le Rocche (in the red label). Bottled in 2019, the wine stands apart thanks to a hot and dry growing season that Bruna Giacosa is very excited about. In fact, she prefers 2017 to 2015, although the two vintages do share similarities. This wine is very open-knit, and it reveals dark concentration in the form of ripe blackberry, candied cherry and spice. The tannins show a loose, granular quality that adds considerably to the textural impact of this Riserva.

Roses and lavender with other flowers. Peaches. Glorious fruit of dark plums and ripe strawberries. This is dense and intense but there are layers of very fine tannins, like fine cashmere. Goes on for minutes. Opens in the mouth. Almost endless. Three years in cask and two years in bottle before January 2023 release. Give this at least five to six years.
