Bruno Giacosa Barolo Falletto 2021 070226CRISP while the rest is CumieresThe Falletto vineyard has been Giacosa's flagship since 1982, and the 2021 demonstrates why. Serralunga's legendary terroirmarrying structure with perfumeshows through in cherries, strawberries, sandalwood, iodine, and pressed rose. Aged 32 months in large French oak followed by six months in bottle, the wine displays incredible balance and focus: full bodied yet refined, with fine grained, silky tannins that frame Nebbiolo's character beautifully.
