BRUNO GIACOSA

The following section offers one of the most alluring selections of Barolos and Barbarescos from Bruno Giacosa that we have seen on the market for many years. Like Giacosa, we ought to let the wines speak for themselves, and from these wonderful vintages they will speak of the great profundity of the Nebbiolo grape when conditions are close to perfect. The 1978 and 1982 vintages are examples of mature wines from the exceptional communes of Serralunga and Neive.
This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire these magical wines.

Barolo, Villero Castiglione Falletto, Riserva Speciale--Vintage 1978
Piedmont, Bruno Giacosa
Levels: eleven bottom neck or better and one top shoulder; two bin soiled labels, two slight signs of seepage
"1978 Giacosa Barolo Riserva Speciale Villero-Dark red. The 1978 Villero takes things to another level, with a deep penetrating nose and layers of sweet dark fruit, menthol, eucalyptus, and minerals. This massively packed, structured Barolo offers outstanding purity of expression in a richer, more concentrated style. It too comes across as very youthful. 97/drink now-2021, 02/06."
