Bruno Giacosa

Roero Arneis is also known as Barolo Bianco, which is entirely true for this excellent white wine from Neve's noble forge. Bruna Giacosa's Arneis in particular is a great example of a Roero wine that surpasses the normality of the appellation by far and at the same time has a great sense of inner freshness and complexity.

This rare spumante made from 100 per cent Pinot Nero is a real treat. The bouquet has a hint of flowers and alpine herbs, the flavour is delicately fruity with an elegant bitter note and a very complex finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Intense ruby red with garnet-coloured shimmer. Fragrant, very delicate bouquet with pleasant fruity notes of cherries, wild berries and spices - plus a delicate hint of liquorice. The full and harmonious flavour, with just the right amount of tannin, is persistent and flattering and makes this Nebbiolo a "little Barolo" and a unique wine. SUPERIORE.DE

On the nose, dark fruits, spices, tar and lots of tangy liquorice with a hint of aniseed. On the palate, these aromas join together with a tightly woven forest berry fruit to form a fresh, juicy overall package whose harmony and complexity surprise us even at a young age. The tannins are tightly woven, with a few years of bottle maturity they will recede in favour of elegance and depth. SUPERIORE.DE

Rabaja and Asili are probably the most famous vineyards in Barbaresco. Medium, delicately fragrant nose of rose petals, cherries and blue flowers, with restrained ethereal herbal notes. Powerful and compact on the palate, with a well-proportioned cornucopia of black fruits such as blackberries and cassis, plus some liquorice. As the wine progresses, its power and a certain pressure become apparent, but it never comes across as wild or ostentatious, instead always reflecting the elegance of the vineyard and the typical Giacosa ageing in large oak. Impressive flavour and length! SUPERIORE.DE

Rabaja and Asili are probably the most famous sites in Barbaresco. Medium, finely fragrant nose of rose petals, cherries and blue blossoms, with restrained ethereal herbal notes. On the palate, powerful, compact and with a well-proportioned cornucopia of black fruits such as blackberry and cassis, plus some liquorice. As the wine progresses, it shows its power and a certain pressure, which, however, never comes across as wild or ostentatious, but always reflects the elegance of the site and the Giacosa-typical ageing in large wood. Impressive aroma and length! SUPERIORE.DE

The magnificent Asili 2022 opens with a dark, compact appearance and displays an impressive level of aromatic intensity and complexity. On the nose, tantalising aromas of cherry, strawberry, eucalyptus, plus a hint of orange peel, rose petals and pine wood. Full to medium-bodied on the palate, with crushed raspberries, juicy red cherries, cinnamon and chopped herbs. The fresh acidity and exquisite tannins provide a bright and extremely elegant backdrop. This wine continues to surpass itself with every glass, its great class is already undisputed! SUPERIORE.DE
