Expert Reviews
Medium red with a hint of amber. Ethereal aromas of redcurrant, dried rose, violet, tobacco, marzipan and white truffle. A wine of great penetration and thrust, with fruit of steel and powerful structure. Wonderfully floral in the mouth and on the gripping aftertaste. This seems more in the style of the best 2001s. Delivers an uncanny combination of sweetness and sheer energy. Here the late-arriving, slow-building tannins are even finer than those of the Falletto normale From very old vines with perfect exposure to the sun. Giacosa carried out a serious green harvest in 2000, ultimately bringing in about 40 hectoliters per hectare from these vines.
