The Estate<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Bruno Giacosa<\/a> was a winemaker of immense sensitivity. His success was born from an immense talent for transforming grapes sourced from other growers into some of the finest Barolo and Barbaresco ever produced. <\/p>\n

Azienda Agricola Falletto was born from this man’s genius. After beginning to assist his grandfather in the cellar, he purchased the “Falletto” vineyard in Serralunga d’Alba in 1982. In 1966, Bruno also acquired the Barbaresco vineyards “Asili” and “Rabaj\u00e0”. Today the estate comprises twenty hectares extending across the municipalities of Serralunga d’Alba, La Morra and Barbaresco.
\nBruno Giacosa always maintained with absolute conviction that great wine is born in the vineyard. Thus, he always chose to respect nature’s rhythms to the fullest, without forced interventions, but simply accompanying the vine and allowing it to defend itself and grow optimally. <\/p>\n

In the cellar, a highly conservative oenology is followed, aimed at respecting the work done in the vineyard to the fullest. This entails very low yields, three-week macerations in steel tanks and maturation in large French oak casks for periods exceeding thirty months in some cases.
\nThe wines of Azienda Agricola Falletto all derive from estate-owned vineyards and are vinified in the estate’s own cellars in Neive.
\nThe wines under the “Casa Vinicola Bruno Giacosa” label, on the other hand, derive from grapes purchased from trusted suppliers and vinified in the estate’s cellars. <\/p>\n

He was one of the wine figures who most elevated the names of Barolo and Barbaresco worldwide<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Harvesting is manual; in the cellar, concrete tanks are used for fermentation, activated by indigenous yeasts, with a maceration period of three weeks.
