2022 Bruno Giacosa, Barbera d'Alba "Falletto", Piedmont, Italy - 750ml

92–94 Point Vintage (2022 vintage consensus: a warm, dry growing season in Piemonte producing concentrated, fruit-driven wines balanced by Barbera’s naturally vibrant acidity.)

From the historic Falletto estate in Serralunga d’Alba, this Barbera d’Alba reflects the precision and discipline synonymous with the Giacosa name. While Barolo defines the house reputation, the Barbera bottling offers a more immediate and approachable expression of Piemonte—crafted with the same meticulous vineyard selection and restrained cellar philosophy.

Blend: 100% Barbera
Tasting Notes: Aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and crushed blackberry are layered with violet, sweet spice, and a subtle touch of cocoa. The palate is energetic and supple, delivering vibrant dark fruit framed by bright acidity and polished tannins. A mineral undertone adds lift and length, carrying through a clean, persistent finish.
Structure: Fresh and vibrant with refined depth; approachable yet structured.
Drink Window: 2024–2034

Decanting: A brief 30–60 minute decant enhances aromatic expression in its youth, though the wine is highly enjoyable upon release.

The 2022 Barbera d'Alba from Falletto di Bruno Giacosa is a polished and versatile expression of the variety—equally suited to refined everyday dining or a well-curated cellar seeking high-quality Piemonte with earlier accessibility. It delivers pedigree without pretense, embodying both tradition and immediacy in the glass.
