Falletto

2016 Barolo Red Blend

Bruno Giacosa Falletto is a remarkable red blend hailing from the esteemed Barolo region, a gem within Italy's Piedmont. This 2016 vintage showcases a vibrant red hue that entices the eye and promises complexity. The wine is medium-bodied, striking a harmonious balance between richness and finesse. Its acidity is bright and lively, creating a refreshing lift that complements its layered flavors. With pronounced fruit intensity, expect luscious notes of ripe cherries, dark berries, and hints of floral elegance, all intertwined with subtle undertones of spice. The tannins are notable yet refined, providing structure without overshadowing the wine's enticing profile. As a dry wine, it exemplifies the mastery of terroir, making it an exceptional choice for pairing with hearty dishes or savored on its own. Each sip invites you to further explore its evolving character, a true reflection of Barolo's rich heritage.

Italy

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.
