Bruno Giacosa - Barolo Falletto 2012
Vinification
Bruno Giacosa's winemaking philosophy combines a respect for tradition and conservative winemaking with the selected use of modern technology
to obtain the best expression of each vineyard's terroir. He is convinced that great wines begin in the vineyard with the production of grapes
cultivated by experienced growers. This belief pushes him to improve quality with every harvest. In the cellar, the goal is to produce a wine that
maintains its identity from vine to bottle, so winemaking methods are traditional and in full respect of the grape's typical characteristics.
