BRUNO GIACOSA BAROLO FALLETTO 1999 (1)
Piedmont.
soiled & marked label.
The outstanding 1999 Barolo Falletto is a very firm garnet, with smoky clove, cinnamon, plum and cherry aromas and a heady, warming contribution from the alcohol. Its packed red and black fruit flavors, powerful structure, and the intensity and length which mark Nebbiolo from Serralunga, are the tell-tale signs of a classic in the making. The rise in textural fullness on the finish suggests that this is a Barolo to cellar. Drink 2006-2030. October 2003 WA 94
BRUNO GIACOSA BAROLO FALLETTO 2001 (1)
Piedmont.
scraped label.
The 2001 Barolo Falletto impresses for its layered, silky personality. Sweet roses, tar, licorice and menthol are all woven together in this deceptively medium-bodied Barolo. There is plenty of muscle to back things up. Today the Falletto is quite a bit more delicate than it has been in the past. April 2012
BRUNO GIACOSA BAROLO FALLETTO 2004 (1)
Piedmont.
scraped & marked label.
Giacosa’s 2004 Barolo Falletto is so compelling it will be hard not to drink it in its youth. This gorgeous Barolo reveals a deeply structured frame layered with sweet dark fruit, mint, spice and pine. At once delicate and powerful, it is a beautifully finessed wine that is sure to provide much pleasure. A recent bottle of the 1982 is a testament to the virtues of this great site as interpreted by Bruno Giacosa. December 2007 WA 96
