- The 2002 Cos d’Estournel is quite deep in colour with only faint bricking on the rim. The nose evokes an era when I feel that the winemaking team back then pushed the concentration to the maximum. So we have black plum, a touch of prune mixed with marmalade, scents redolent of a richer growing season, though it lacks a bit of definition and charm. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannins, quite decadent and toasty, Asian spices and liquorice, almost New World in style. Dry tannins on the minty finish. Tasted at the château.

Piedmonte Pioneers

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.
