Reviews & Scores
From the first parcels acquired by Bruno Giacosa in the 1980s, the iconic red label is made only in years the family deems truly perfect. With intoxicating perfumes of sweet earth, dried cherry, raspberry, fennel seeds, celery root and iron, bottle no. 5,430 sent shivers down my spine. Long-limbed tannins still stretch out with sneaky firmness. The execution is graceful and seamless. Bitter chocolate and orange linger on the finish, leaving the palate energised and salivating. - DC

The 2001 Falletto Riserva from Bruno Giacosa remains a young wine, but it is starting to stir at age twenty and it will not be too much longer before it emerges to really begin drinking with the generosity of maturity. The bouquet is already superb, wafting from the glass in a mix of sappy cherries, white truffles, a touch of road tar, a gorgeous base of soil tones, celery seed and a pungent topnote of roses. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, focused and potentially very sappy at the core, with fine focus and grip, still plenty of ripe, seamless tannins and a very, very long, complex and utterly refined finish. This wine will probably start to taste really good with some extended decanting time in about five or six years, but try to hold off opening up bottles until at least 2030 and really let the magic unfold in all its glory. - JG

The 2001 vintage in Piedmont has long been a favorite of mine. Bruno Giacosa’s 2001 Barolo Riserva Le Rocche del Falletto is explosive and decadently rich from the very first taste. The 2001 is arguably the last truly classic vintage for the Rocche Red Label. To be sure, the 2004, 2005 and 2007 are all compelling, but the 2001 has more in common stylistically with vintages like 1996 and 1999. Dense, perfumed and wonderfully intense, the 2001 is phenomenally great. Wow. (AG) - VM
