“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.”
Every detail we hold on this bottle, in one place, so you know exactly what is going into your cellar.
Bruno Giacosa is a famous wine producer based in Piedmont, Italy. It is particularly known for its intensely perfumed, textured wines from the Barolo and Barbaresco appellations, made from the Nebbiolo grape variety.
Giacosa himself famously began in the wine trade buying grapes for his father's wines at the age of 15. By 1960, he was ready to begin his own business and soon became one of Barbaresco's principal producers, along with Gaja and the Produttori del Barbaresco cooperative. Giacosa's standards remain high: the 2006 and 2010 wines were sold off in bulk as they were not seen as being up to standard, even though most producers did not regard these as poor years. Accordingly, Bruno Giacosa wines are among the most expensive of their kind.
