One tried-and-true trick to find good value is to seek out a great producer’s entry-level wine and few estates reward that approach like Bruno Giacosa. The top Barolos and Barbarescos from this house can fetch over a thousand dollars, but this Barbera, grown at the legendary Falletto estate in Serralunga, gets the same hands. Falletto is the same Grand Cru-equivalent site that produces Giacosa’s Barolo Falletto and the iconic Le Rocche del Falletto Riserva. The result is among Piedmont’s most serious Barberas classy, classical, with genuine structure to grow on.
