Why we follow Bruno Giacosa
The estate
Founded in 1871. Bruno Giacosa was the third generation and joined the family cellar at thirteen, making the first wine under his own label in 1961. He built his reputation as a négociant with an extraordinary palate, buying fruit from the best growers, and in 1964 bottled what is generally credited as one of the first single-vineyard Barbarescos, Santo Stefano, from Italo Stupino's fruit at Castello di Neive. His daughter Bruna leads the estate today.
The vineyards
He bought his first vineyard late, in 1982: Falletto in Serralunga d'Alba, the source of his greatest Barolos. Parcels in Asili and Rabajà in Barbaresco followed in 1996. The estate today is around 20 hectares owned, producing about 400,000 bottles a year across the range. From the 2012 vintage the estate stopped bottling Barbaresco Santo Stefano, having moved to an estate-fruit-only strategy for the top wines.
In the glass
Described by the house as updated traditional: long maceration, extended ageing, and no interest in the modernist barrique argument. The red label denotes a Riserva, the white label the standard bottling — a distinction collectors follow closely. The 2000 Barolo Le Rocche del Falletto took 100 points from James Suckling on release. Asked in 2017 for her favourite recent vintages, Bruna named 2011, 2014 and 2016, with 2014 an interesting inclusion given that vintage's mixed reputation.

How allocations are offered
It records which producers and wines interest you, so we know who to contact when a release is confirmed.
Availability depends on what arrives and how many customers are waiting. In some years there is very little to go round.
Our team considers purchase history, genuine interest and intended enjoyment. We would rather a case went to someone who will open it and tell us what they thought than to whoever asked first.
Change your requests at any time from My allocation requests. Release timing moves with the producer and the vintage, so the months on the release calendar are a guide rather than a promise.
