Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Asili Falletto 2022 is a refined, world-class red wine crafted by the estate of Bruno Giacosa from their prized 2.5-hectare parcel in the renowned Asili vineyard in Barbaresco. Fermented in stainless steel and matured for 20 months in large French oak casks, this 100% Nebbiolo expresses extraordinary purity, finesse, and elegance. In the glass, it shows a bright ruby-garnet color. The complex bouquet opens with red berries, wild strawberries, and ripe cherries, complemented by crushed rose petals, spice, and subtle sandalwood notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and beautifully structured, balancing fresh fruit purity with fine-grained, grippy tannins and a long, saline-mineral finish.
Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with roasted lamb, braised veal shanks, truffle risotto, game birds, and aged Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

The Bruno Giacosa 2022 Barbaresco Asili is hitting the market now. It was bottled on the 15th of July, 2024. This elegant wine shows the finely tuned and nuanced essence of Asili with its fine soils. It opens to a bright ruby color and delivers chalky tannins that retain their tension and grippy feel. On the close, you get hints of violets and blue flower. This is a very terroir-driven wine, but it needs more time in bottle to fully express itself. There will be a red label, or Riserva, made in 2020 to be released later this year (that I have reviewed here). A 2021 Riserva will be released in 2026. If Bruna Giacosa (daughter of the late Bruno Giacosa) makes a red label, the white label is not produced.
