Description

Bruno Giacosa AA Falletto 'Vigna Le Rocche' RISERVA Barolo 2017This year's 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
