Bruno Giacosa’s Barbaresco & Barolo

Bruno Giacosa is one of Piedmont’s greatest producers. Bruna, his daughter, has been at the helm since 2006, and the wines have not waivered. With an established global following from collectors and critics alike, these are some of the most complex and mind-blowing wines on the planet. We are thrilled to offer wines from this historic producer described by Jancis Robinson as "one of Italy's most admired winemakers". From the entry level, keenly priced wines to the highly sought-after and very limited Barolos and Barbarescos, we highly recommend these wines from Bruno Giacosa.

    This 2017 Barolo certainly does not disappoint. Mineral notes sit atop sour cherry, bright pomegranate, and dry flowers. Everything is held perfectly in place by the firm, grippy tannins and lithe acidity. It is an undeniably good Barolo that will taste incredible from the outset, but it also has decades of cellaring potential.

  • Monica Larner, September 2021, Score: 95

    The Bruno Giacosa 2017 Barbaresco Rabajà is a fine and delicate wine that throws a curveball at our expectations of this notoriously hot and dry vintage. The wine is exceedingly generous when it comes to its fruit, especially its blackcurrant and plum, but what steals the show is that elegant mineral note that so seamlessly cedes to spice, licorice and cinnamon. Rabajà is one of the most distinctive growing sites in Barbaresco, thanks to its white stony soils that leave such a strong imprint on its wines. The wine is remarkable for its nicely linear and delicate style, but it ultimately proves its power and determination on the palate over many long minutes. Drink 2024-2045.

  • Goedhuis, April 2022

    Asili is perhaps the most famous and celebrated cru in Barbarecso, a magical combination of muscle and refinement, and the 2019 is a seriously exciting vintage. Boasting noteworthy power and persuasive elegance, the 2019 has pure, crystalline palate with a silky but firm body. While the nose is a little shy at this stage, this will unfurl to reveal great things. Drink 2024-2034.

  • Robert Parker, August 2023, Score: 95

    With the white label, the 2019 Barbaresco Asili is a wine of exceptional clarity and focus. That brightness is applied to the bouquet and the mouthfeel alike, where the wine feels streamlined, elegant and tight. Asili is redolent of wild fruit, violets and candied orange peel. This wine was bottled in 2021 and needs a few more years in glass before it really starts to unwind and soften. Drink 2025-2048

    Cherry, bright berry and cassis emerge from the Bruno Giacosa 2020 Nebbiolo d'Alba Vigna Valmaggiore. This is a somewhat looser, more open-knit approach to Nebbiolo that offers a delightful, fruit-forward mouthfeel that is characterized by moments of delicate softness and, alternatively, bright freshness. Blue flowers and violets appear on the close. Drink 2023-2032

  • Jancis Robinson, November 2023, Score: 16.5

    This current vintage is one of best vintages, according to the Giacosa team. Valmaggiore is a steep, south-facing cru in Roero that is difficult to work. Giacosa have been renting it long term so they work the 50- to 60-year-old vines. Production is low, vinification is traditional with a 25-day fermentation with pumpovers then 12 months in botte. Bottled at 14 months and released. Transparent garnet. Pure, fresh nose. Mineral and juicy. Bone-dry finish. Smooth tannins. Mouthwash impression. Definitely the pure Giacosa signature without paying the price of a Barolo or Barbaresco.
