AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Bruno Giacosa, who passed away in January 2018, was a key figure in the Italian wine world, particularly for the Barolo and Barbaresco appellations. Bruno grew up among the vineyards: at just 13 years old, he was already helping in the family winery and quickly learned the importance of grape selection during the harvest. Thanks to his expertise, he also earned a reputation as a skilled grape trader. Before purchasing his estate, Azienda Agricola Falletto, he vinified grapes from prestigious crus. In the cellar, the red wines macerate in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The white wines are aged in stainless steel tanks, while the Barbera and Nebbiolo mature in large oak barrels. Aging lasts on average from one to three years depending on the cuvee.
