Bruno Giacosa AA Falletto Barolo DOCG 2014
Founded in 1900 in Neive, Bruno Giacosa is one of Piedmont's most revered producers, celebrated for wines of extraordinary purity, precision and longevity. Our vision has always been to let the great crus of the Langhe speak for themselves, honoring old-world tradition while crafting wines of world-class ambition.
Our AA Falletto Barolo is our flagship expression — a single-vineyard Barolo sourced from the historic Falletto vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba, produced to capture the full depth and structure of our finest Nebbiolo.
