    Falletto in Serralunga d'Alba is a natural amphitheatre – that compact, concentrated hillside that gives Serralunga its distinctive power. Calcareous soils, south-west to west-facing slopes, a minerality that is audible in every wine from this site. Normally, this is Nebbiolo country. Barolo country. At Giacosa, Barbera also grows here. The difference from the purchased Giacosa Barbera begins in the soil and continues in the cellar: after fermentation in steel – as with the Casa Vinicola wine – , the Falletto Barbera leaves the tank and is transferred to large oak botti for 14 months. The same vessels, the same care as for the house’s Barolos and Barbareschi. No new wood, just the slow oxygenation provided by large, neutral barrels, which gives the wine depth and integration without shaping it.

    The result is a Barbera that does justice to its origins: dense, dark and intense, with rich cherry fruit and a tannic structure that makes Serralunga unmistakable. The bouquet offers aromatic herbs, milk chocolate and deep fruit. Powerful on the palate with a long, vibrant minerality that lingers on the finish. Arguably the finest Barolo producer in Piedmont – in a glass of Barbera. SUPERIORE.DE
