Bright dark red: this is deeper in colour than the regular 2019 Barolo Falletto from Giacosa. Captivating red cherry, raspberry nectar, candied violet, orange peel and apricot skin on the elegant, powerful nose. Then ripe, suave and round, with a slightly savory nuance to the red fruit and spicy flavours. Very smooth, showcasing wonderfully polished tannins, this lingers impressively on the log multilayered finish. Great red wine that will only get better and better. Drinking window: 2029-2045.

With the white label, the 2019 Barolo Falletto Vigna Le Rocche is a generous and expansive wine that hits the palate from all sides. It offers lingering sensations of sweet fruit with a good amount of intensity and muscle power pushing from behind. That forward momentum is fueled by dark fruit, rusty earth, wet clay and blood orange. It shows elegance, substance and finely tuned tones with considerable tension and tightness. This is another bottle to rest at the back of your cellar. Drink 2026-2048. ML Aug 2023
