The Barolo Riserva Falletto Vigna Le Rocche is one of Bruno Giacosa's finest examples, produced exclusively in the finest vintages from the 100% Nebbiolo grapes of the prestigious Vigna Le Rocche, in the Falletto cru of Serralunga d'Alba. The older vineyards, grown on clay-limestone soils, produce a wine of great elegance and longevity. Fermentation and long maceration precede a refinement of approximately 36 months in large oak barrels, followed by further rest in the bottle. E(100 ml)=365/88 kcal
On the nose it is broad and complex, with scents of small red, pink, pomegranate and blackcurrant fruits, accompanied by elegant notes of licorice, spices and undergrowth. On the palate it is full and structured, with silky tannins, great freshness and a long, savoury and harmonious persistence.
A wine for great occasions, ideal with braised meats, roasts, game and important dishes of Piedmontese tradition. Perfect with truffles and aged cheeses, it also lends itself to a meditative tasting.
To fully appreciate its structure, elegance and complexity, the Barolo Riserva Falletto Vigna Le Rocche must be served at a service temperature of 18/20°C.
