Bruno Giacosa Barbera d'Alba 2022
(Piedmont, Italy)

About the Estate:
One of the legendary winemakers of the world, Bruno Giacosa joined the family business at the age of 15, representing the third generation of his Langhe winemaking family. Giacosa’s unfailing pursuit of perfection, his unrivaled palate and his intimate knowledge of vineyards in the Langhe quickly drew recognition and helped establish Piedmont as a leading wine region. His legacy rests with daughter Bruna, who continues to uphold her father’s 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.

 Tasting Notes:
This Barbera shines with an intense ruby red color and expressive aromas of cherry, plum and forest fruit notes matched with a balanced, lively mouthfeel and acidic freshness on the finish. Produced from 30 year old vines and aged in oak for 14 months, this classic Barbera is impressively complex and elegant.

Ratings & Reviews

91 Points - Gismondi on Wine (2020):
"From select vineyards in the villages of Neive and Alba and vines 28-36 years, this youthful red was fermented and aged in stainless before moving to oak for 14 months of rest. Fragrant raspberries and cherries flood a juicy palate, rung with long, finely grippy tannins and scented with crushed florals through the lingering savoury herbal finish. Very pure, drinking well now and over the next few years." - Treve Ring (Dec 2022)
