Bruno Giacosa

Rassig ist der Dolcetto d'Alba Falletto aus dem Serralunga nahe Giacosas exzellenten Barolo-Lagen. Seine kräftige Art, der dunkle, reiche und reife Ausdruck, fest in die Frucht verpackt - ein ganz besonderer Wein mit schönem Potenzial. SUPERIORE.DE

"Ripe, luscious blackberry, black currant, violet and mineral flavors highlight this intense, energetic red. The flavors just don't quit, building to a long, saturated aftertaste. Balanced, in an assertive way." Wine Spectator

Strohgelb mit grünlichen Reflexen. Der 2019er Roero Arneis hat eine reizende Blumennase, darin finden wir Anklänge an Pfirsich und Banane. Im Geschmack klar, frisch und reintönig mit würzigen Aromen von Zitrone, Mandarine und zerstoßenem Geröll. Roero Arneis wird auch Barolo Bianco genannt, was für diesen ausgezeichneten Weißen aus Neives Edelschmiede voll und ganz zutrifft. SUPERIORE.DE

Anmutig der rubinrote Barbera d'Alba mit dem feinen Fruchtduft. Der voll strukturierte Geschmack schließt anhaltend mit leichter Säureader, die einen guten Kontrast zum Körper bildet. SUPERIORE.DE

"A powerful and lush style, featuring ripe plum, black cherry, milk chocolate and earth flavors that fill in the texture. Structured, with well-integrated tannins on the finish." Wine Spectator

"A Barbera with blueberry and raspberry character, as well as lemon undertones. Medium body. Vivid and tangy. Fresh and satisfying." James Suckling

Ein Genuss ist dieser charaktervolle und rare Spumante aus 100 Prozent Pinot Nero. Im Bouquet ein Hauch von Blumen und Alpenkräutern, der Geschmack fein-fruchtig und mit einer eleganten Bitternote und sehr komplexem Abgang. SUPERIORE.DE

Kerniger Jahrgangs-Spumante aus 100% Pinot Nero in elegantem Altrosa. Aromatischer Duft nach Cranberry, Pfirsich und einem Hauch Hagebutte. Hervorragend strukturiert, harmonisch und lang mit cremiger Textur. SUPERIORE.DE

Granatrot, feines Bouquet nach getrockneten Rosen, leicht nach Zimt und Nelken, viel reifer Kirschenduft, am Gaumen sehr dicht, sattes Tannin, noch sehr jung und etwas wild. Enormes Potenzial! SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2012 Barolo Falletto is a bit timid to open and needs extra time in the glass (especially when tasted this young). This wine was bottled in March. The wine already shows impressive complexity and depth with drying mineral notes that frame a pretty core of cherry and blackberry fruit. Background notes of light spice and grilled herb complete this pretty picture. What stands out most here, however, is the tight textural fabric of this wine. It is poised for very good aging potential." Robert Parker

"A gorgeous red, featuring all the hallmarks of great Barolo, with cherry, strawberry, floral and tobacco flavors that show hints of tar and licorice. The beefy tannins are there, but they're not overwhelming, and this glides to a lingering aftertaste of fruit, mineral and savory elements." Wine Spectator

"A young wine that builds on the palate with plums, spices, cedar and hints of chocolate. Turns to hazelnuts. Full to medium body, but this builds on the palate. Juicy and chewy with caressing tannins. Love the way it grows on the palate." James Suckling

Funkelndes Rubinrot mit orangefarbenen Reflexen. Parfümierte, würzige Nase mit Noten von Trockenfrüchten. Mit zunehmender Belüftung immer komplexer und feiner. Am Gaumen eine wunderbare Dosis feiner Säure, die Frucht offenbart sich in diesen Tagen einige Sekunden später. Schöne, geschmackvolle Tannine. Ein Wein, der noch einige Jahre Geduld und Muße benötigt - aber das ist den Aufwand zu 100% wert. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dense and firmly structured, this red features a distinctive saltiness underlying the floral, cherry, mineral and tobacco flavors. A bit standoffish now, but all the components are in the right proportions." Wine Spectator

"Superb aromas of ripe fruit such as plums and berries with peaches and tar. Very intense. Full body, great depth and density. Incredible richness and power with superb length and persistence. One of the most dense and vertical Falletos I have tasted. Try in 2025." James Suckling

Wunderschöner Barolo aus jeder Perspektive, denn die Intensität des Bouquets und die Eleganz des Geschmacks sind einzigartig. Super feingliedrige Tannine verleihen Rückgrat und schaffen Struktur für die reichen Fruchtaromen. Falletto Vigna Le Rocche bietet eine traumhafte frische Konsistenz und Ausgewogenheit und hält jederzeit das richtige Maß. SUPERIORE.DE

"Le Rocche is a selection from the highest parcels in Falletto in Serralunga, which helps to explain its great finesse. The raspberry and redcurrant nose shows great purity of fruit, poise and stylishness. The palate is equally elegant, with a lean attack, polished tannins and a silky, intense texture. There's ample tannic grip but it's not aggressive and there are none of the rough edges often apparent in Serralunga. Balanced and very long." Decanter

"Bottled in July of last year, the 2015 Barolo Falletto Vigna Le Rocche is a daring and absolutely profound expression of Nebbiolo with the depth, thickness and volume you can expect from a warm vintage such as this. This wine is a veritable bomb of aromatic intensity with thick layers of dark fruit, spice and crushed stone that all vie for your attention in equal measure. The mouthfeel is characterized by thick fiber and lasting succulence, all capped with fresh acidity and a firm tannic backbone. This Barolo is classic Giacosa." Robert Parker

"It takes a few seconds to access the core of fruit in this taut, sinewy red, but there is a beam of pure cherry, accented by rose, wild juniper, thyme and licorice flavors. This turns elegant and supple in the end, with terrific complexity, harmony and minerally length." Wine Spectator

"I am lost for words with this wine. Perfumed and so elegant with the most exquisite aromas of roses, plums and earth. Yet always subtle and complex. Full body, ultra-fine and firm tannins. Upgraded. Fantastic finish that lasts for minutes. Try in 2026." James Suckling

Barbaresco Riserva Asili ist geradezu parfümiert, Rosenblätter und reife Beeren, prachtvoll in seiner runden, sinnlichen Frucht. Am Gaumen opulent, elegant und reich an unwiderstehlich seidigen Tanninen, die noch mehr Substanz und noch mehr Reichtum als das weiße Etikett hervorbringen. Ein Wein von atemberaubender Schönheit und großer Langlebigkeit. SUPERIORE.DE

"A magnificent result for 2014, but then this is a legendary wine: a top bottling from a top estate. The nose is rich, juicy, and exuberant, with piquant raspberry aromas. It's undoubtedly rich and full-bodied, and there's no lack of volume or concentration. The tannins are bold and fleshy, and the wine overall is surprisingly succulent and approachable. Very long, grainy finish." Decanter

"Fluid and juicy, with savory notes of menthol and juniper, matched to the cherry and currant fruit. Underlined by a mineral element, this features a serious whack of tannins on the finish, yet the lasting impression is of sweet, ripe cherry and berry flavors, showing wonderful length." Wine Spectator

"The 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Asili represents a tremendous effort in a challenging but ultimately very rewarding vintage. The previous edition was 2011, and Bruna Giacosa tells me that it will be produced in 2016 and possibly 2017—although this has not yet been officially confirmed. Growing conditions in 2014 were cause for concern up until the end of August because of humidity and below average temperatures. Those conditions changed suddenly in the nick of time, bringing strong sunshine and warmth during the final stage of grape ripening. Ultimately, 2014 proved to be a long growing season with healthy fruit in reduced volume. The Rabajà cru sometimes shows a harder edge with more mineral definition. Asili, in comparison, offers gorgeous intensity and profound depth. This Riserva shows seamless integration of wild fruit, blue flower, spice, balsam herb and pencil shaving. This is a complete and complex expression with an enduring sense of dimension and structure. I can’t wait to taste this wine one day in the far future when it is further along on its promising evolutionary track." Robert Parker

"Incredible aromas of violets, roses and blue fruits. So perfumed. Never smelled a wine like this before. Full body, perfectly integrated tannins and bright, vivid acidity. Extremely long and endless. A seamless and great one. An evocative wine that makes you think. Needs three to five years of bottle age on release. Unique red." James Suckling
