Bruno Giacosa Barolo Falletto di Serralunga Magnum 1988 is a benchmark expression of traditional Barolo from one of Piedmont’s most revered producers. Bruno Giacosa, renowned for his uncompromising pursuit of quality, meticulously selected grapes from the prestigious Falletto vineyard in Serralunga d’Alba—a site celebrated for producing some of the region’s most structured and long-lived wines.
The 1988 vintage benefited from ideal growing conditions, yielding a harmonious yet powerful Barolo with remarkable ageing potential. Aged extensively in large Slavonian oak botti, it offers a refined, expressive profile of dried cherries, rose petals, liquorice, and earthy truffle, underpinned by silky tannins and a lingering mineral finish.
Presented in magnum format, this bottle allows for extended maturation, enhancing complexity and depth over time. A true collector’s wine, Barolo Falletto 1988 showcases Giacosa’s mastery of Nebbiolo, balancing elegance, structure, and profound terroir expression.
Born in 1945, Bruno Giacosa began working at his father's wine cellar at the age of 16. Without formal training, Bruno rose to become one of Italy's greatest winemakers, producing some of Piedmont's most iconic reds. Producing both Barolo and Barbaresco, Bruno focussed heavily on sourcing fruit from the finest crus in the area. The estate only began building up vineyard holdings in the early 1980s and today have around 20 hectares under vine.
Bruno passed away in 2018 and since then the winery has been managed by his daughter Bruna who continues the traditional of careful winemaking and terroir-focussed grape selection. Since 2012 the winery have produced Barolo and Barbaresco entirely from estate-grown fruit. In extra special vintages a red-label Reserva is bottled, representing the very peak of fine Piedmontese winemaking. The purity of the fruit is the primary concern the team at Giacosa, ageing takes place in large, untoasted inactive barrels for around 20 months.
