Medium ruby colour with a delicate purple rim. Fresh red fruits open up on the nose – raspberry, cherry, redcurrant – accompanied by violets, white pepper and a hint of undergrowth. On the palate, the 2022 is open and supple without losing any depth. The tannins are silky, the acidity harmoniously integrated and a fine minerality keeps the wine taut. The single vineyard contributes its signature here: aromatic clarity and elegant length. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Bruno Giacosa 2022 Nebbiolo d'Alba Vigna Valmaggiore opens with bright cherry aromas and a beautiful ruby red colour. The wine shows great fruit intensity, and there is a note of candied cherry that really stands out in this vintage. It is particularly fruity and bright. The fruit is generous and primary, and the wine finishes with slightly chalky tannins." Wine Advocate

"This wine is very serious for the appellation, with pure cherry, bark and walnut character and a hint of dark chocolate. Medium-bodied, firm and concentrated, with integrated tannins and a long and flavourful finish. More like a Barolo. Great location. Give it another year or two, but it's already impressive." James Suckling

"The 2022 is an absolute must and defies the heat and dryness of the vintage with its incredible freshness. Essences of roses, raspberries and peaches rise from the glass. This purity and intensity continues on the fine-boned, elegantly weighted palate. Candied citrus fruits and watermelon play with the juicy, salivating acidity, and powdery tannins caress the palate." Decanter
