The 1990 Barolo Riserva Falletto is one of Bruno Giacosa’s most towering wines. Period.

This vivid, kaleidoscopic Barolo is a reference-point wine readers won’t want to miss. As always, the Riserva Falletto is virile and authoritative in tone. Simply put, it its profound. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2030. February 2010 WA 98
