Falletto, in Serralunga d'Alba, is Bruno Giacosa's home vineyard and one of Barolo's grand sites. The 2022 earns 97 points from Jeb Dunnuck, offering spiced cherry, fresh herbs, smoky incense and hints of leather over a medium-bodied palate of remarkable purity, with ripe, noble tannins and a long, even finish.
"It features ripe tannins with a noble yet elegant feel, as the fruit shines brightly and carries through to a long and even finish." — Audrey Frick, jebdunnuck.com (97 pts)
A Barolo of elegance and structure, built to age over the next two to three decades.
Critic Reviews
97 Points - Audrey Frick, jebdunnuck.com
“The 2021 Barolo Falletto comes from the lower portion of the slope and was aged for 34 months in big barrels and then six months in bottle. In the glass, it pours a jeweled red hue with a bit more pigment than the Barbaresco and is spicy on the nose, with a compelling feel in its notes of spiced cherries, fresh herbs, smoky incense, and hints of fresh leather. The palate is medium-bodied, with lovely purity and clarity that was a consistent thread throughout all the wines at this tasting. It features ripe tannins with a noble yet elegant feel, as the fruit shines brightly and carries through to a long and even finish. As it opens, it showcases its more noble structure, along with the ability to age over the next two to three decades.”
