Description
Bruno Giacosa, known as the “Genius of Neive,” has achieved remarkable acclaim for his mastery of Nebbiolo. His single-vineyard Barolo and Barbaresco set new standards for the region, blending traditional and innovative winemaking methods. His relentless pursuit of perfection has been entrusted to his daughter, Bruna, who has overseen the estate since 2006, delivering some of the most electrifying wines in Piedmont. Giacosa's portfolio ranges from the floral elegance of Barbera to the tense complexity of Nebbiolos, offering a delightful exploration of flavours. The 2022 vintage has garnered 94 points from James Suckling, praised for its firm, medium-bodied structure featuring racy tannins, dark chocolate, iodine, and dried strawberries, showcasing a creamy yet juicy texture that invites both immediate enjoyment and future aging.

JAMES SUCKLING 94 points
A tiny vineyard of one hectare delivers this firm, medium-bodied red with racy tannins, dark chocolate, iodine and dried strawberries. Creamy and chewy at the same time. Juicy as well. Drink or hold.
