Red Wine: 2001 | Carlo Giacosa | Asili

Good medium color. Very ripe aromas of strawberry and dried rose; just this side of jammy. Plush and velvety on the palate, with rich, broad red berry and floral flavors. Quite soft and full for this wine. The very fine tannins coat the entire mouth.

Producer Information

One of the legendary winemakers of the world, Bruno Giacosa crafted the most prestigious single-vineyard Barolo and Barbaresco wines during a career that spanned nearly eight decades. He joined the family business at the age of 15, representing the third generation of his Langhe winemaking family. Giacosas unfailing pursuit of perfection, his unrivalled palate and his intimate knowledge of vineyards in the Langhe quickly drew recognition and helped establish Piedmont as a leading wine region. In 1982, Giacosa began to acquire prime parcels in Serralunga dAlba, La Morra and Barbaresco to produce wines that are rightly regarded as the finest expressions of Nebbiolo. His legacy rests with daughter Bruna, who continues to uphold her fathers winemaking philosophy to respect traditional techniques while using the best of modern technology. The goal is for each distinguished site to produce articulate, unique wines. The Azienda Agricola Falletto di Bruno Giacosa label represents wines made from estate vineyards. The Casa Vinicola Bruno Giacosa label appears on wines made from purchased grapes that are made with the same care in the Nieve winery.
