Falletto

1990 Barbaresco Red Blend

The Bruno Giacosa Falletto 1990 is a stunning red blend that exemplifies the elegance and complexity of Barbaresco. This wine greets you with a beautiful ruby red hue, hinting at its age while still showcasing vibrant character. On the palate, it presents a medium-bodied profile, perfectly balanced with notable acidity that keeps it refreshingly lively. The fruit intensity is pronounced, offering delightful layers of cherry, plum, and a hint of dried herbs, which intertwine seamlessly with the wine's structure. The tannins are firm yet beautifully integrated, providing a solid backbone without overwhelming the exquisite fruit. As a dry wine with a complex finish, it leaves a lasting impression that speaks to the mastery of winemaking in this renowned Italian region. Perfectly paired with hearty dishes, it is a true testament to the potential of Barbaresco wines.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
