Description: Bruno Giacosa is considered one of the most precise interpreters of Nebbiolo in Piedmont. His reputation is based less on size than on uncompromising selection: only the best vineyards, only great vintages. The wines from Barolo and Barbaresco combine aristocratic structure with delicate aromatics. They are characterized by transparency, vibrant acidity and long-lasting tannins. Giacosa worked traditionally, without fashionable extraction techniques or excessive barrique use. His red labels mark the finest bottlings – rare, strictly selected and almost canonical in great vintages, prized worldwide by lovers of classic long-lived Nebbioli.

The wine is an exceptional cuvée from the Santo Stefano and Gallina vineyards. 1990 was the only vintage since the mid-1960s in which Giacosa bottled a Barbaresco Riserva without a single vineyard designation.
