{"title":"Wine from Bruno Giacosa","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne of the legendary winemakers of the world, Bruno Giacosa crafted the most prestigious single-vineyard Barolo and Barbaresco wines during a career that spanned nearly eight decades. He 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. In 1980, Giacosa began to acquire prime parcels in Serralunga d’Alba, La Morra and Barbaresco to produce wines that are rightly regarded as the finest expressions of Nebbiolo. 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"falletto-di-bruno-giacosa-asili-barbaresco-2019","title":"Falletto di Bruno Giacosa Asili Barbaresco 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eFalletto di Bruno Giacosa Asili Riserva is made from 100 percent Nebbiolo. Intense red garnet with orange highlights. Notes of raspberry and wild strawberry are layered with floral aromas of rose and violet. On the palate, good structure is matched with freshness of fruit and sweet, silky tannins. Review: Sweet and succulent aromas of tangerines, freshly cut ripe strawberries, cherries and flowers follow through to a full-bodied palate with sleek and dense tannins that run the length of the wine and then fan out into a dense, vivid finish of fruit. It's chewy and seriously structured with finesse and energy. Silky texture. This needs at least four or five years to come together and open.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bruno Giacosa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949184217135,"sku":"450303","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/fallettofgff_0c59e5b5-4133-4968-ab5f-f7238650877c.jpg?v=1771490935"},{"product_id":"falletto-di-bruno-giacosa-barolo-docg-2018","title":"Falletto di Bruno Giacosa Barolo DOCG 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eFalletto di Bruno Giacosa Barolo is made from 100 percent Nebbiolo The 2018 vintage was well received after the turbulent 2017 growing year.

It is a lovely nose, persistent, intense and enticing and on the palate it is like falling into a soft velvety bed of rose petals. It already has such beautiful harmony and poise. It has a lush, sensual texture of crushed velvet, and is full-bodied without feeling heavy. There are plenty of dense, savory tannins extending the very long finish, creating a combination of seductive charm and power. This is something special, a great achievement in this vintage. Wait 2-3 years at least but I would not want to miss that young fragrance.
