14.00%, Drinking 2019-2025I am a huge fan of this vineyard site in the Roero region. The 2016 Nebbiolo d'Alba Vigna Valmaggiore serves to encourage and confirm my enthusiasm. The Valmaggiore vineyard is home to dangerously steep rows that make farming extremely laborious. The effort is worth it, especially when you consider those delicate and nuanced berry aromas that so beautifully permeate the bouquet. Wild strawberry, cassis and blueberry are followed by pressed violet and bitter almond. Nor is the mouthfeel to be underestimated, as it provides ample structure and extra crunch on the tonic finish.
93 points, Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate
Morello cherry, bruised red plum and rose petal, spill from the glass. Bright fruit intensity is backed up by ripe, silky tannins and wonderful freshness. Drinking beautifully now it can age well for another five years. Truly a baby Barolo from the Maestro’s cellar.

Known as the “Genius of Neive”, Bruno Giacosa’s mastery of Nebbiolo was widely recognised amongst wine lovers. His single-vineyards Barolo and Barbaresco set new standards for the whole regions, allowing a unique blend of traditional and cutting-edge methods. His research of perfection was passed on to his daughter Bruna, who has been at the helm of the estate since 2006, blessing us with some of the most electrifying wines in our portfolio. From the floral Barbera to the tensest Nebbiolos, Bruno Giacosa’s wines are an incredible delight to discover.
