Nebbiolo · Barbaresco
97 points from Robert Parker, and only 255 cases produced made.
“We then moved into what was easily the most anticipated flight of the night, a staggering collection of wines from Bruno Giacosa in what is arguably his finest vintage, considering the number of monumental wines he made that year. The 1978 Barolo Riserva Villero embodied all of the finest qualities of this great vineyard. Layers of dark fruit, and spiced, balsamic overtones seemed to never end in this utterly profound wine. Tasting the Riserva and non-Riserva Villeros was illuminating as the wines were clearly different, with the Riserva offering a significantly greater level of richness and sheer volume.”

Bruno Giacosa es un famoso productor de vinos con sede en Piamonte, Italia. Es particularmente conocido por sus vinos intensamente perfumados y texturizados de las denominaciones de Barolo y Barbaresco, elaborados con la variedad de uva Nebbiolo.
El propio Giacosa comenzó en el negocio del vino comprando uvas para los vinos de su padre a la edad de 15 años. Para 1960, estaba listo para comenzar su propio negocio y pronto se convirtió en uno de los principales productores de Barbaresco, junto con Gaja y la cooperativa Produttori del Barbaresco. Los estándares de Giacosa siguen siendo altos: los vinos de 2006 y 2010 se vendieron a granel ya que no se consideraron a la altura, a pesar de que la mayoría de los productores no los consideraron años malos. En consecuencia, los vinos de Bruno Giacosa se encuentran entre los más caros de su clase.
