Bruno Giacosa Falletto Vigna Le Rocche Riserva is a red wine made from the Nebbiolo grape variety by Bruno Giacosa in the Barolo DOCG appellation, Piemonte.
In 1980, Bruno Giacosa acquired the Falletto estate, which covers a total of 13 hectares (26 acres) in the municipality of Serralunga d'Alba. This estate is considered by Giacosa as the best area to produce elegant and long-lived Barolos. The Falletto vineyard is located on steep, south-west facing slopes with amphitheatre-shaped calcareous clay soils.
The Falletto estate has a single plot known as Vigna Le Rocche, where the oldest vines are located. These vines produce grapes that are vinified and bottled separately from the rest of the estate.
Falletto wines, according to Giacosa, are characterised by their austerity, elegance and aromatic complexity. They have excellent structure and soft tannins.
The fermentation and maceration process of this wine takes 25 days in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation has been fully developed, which contributes to the smoothness and complexity of the wine. The wine then undergoes a 36-month refinement period in oak barrels, followed by an additional 24 months of maturation in the bottle. During this time, the wine is refined and develops its distinctive characteristics before it is ready to be enjoyed.
The wine has an intense garnet red colour with orange glints. Its bouquet is complex and elegant, with notes of small ripe red fruits, blackcurrants, pomegranate and raspberries. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with an outstanding tannic structure. The tannins are silky, contributing to an excellent persistence on the palate.
