Bruno Giacosa
Bruno Giacosa's 2009s are a small improvement over the 2008s. I found the Falletto a little bit fresher than the Rocche del Falletto, but both wines are pretty forward, especially given what Giacosa fans are likely to expect. I suggest readers drink the wines sooner rather than later.
Things remain very much in a state of transition at Giacosa. The estate skipped the 2010 vintage entirely, the second time in five years Giacosa decided to not bottle a single bottle of Barolo or Barbaresco, the other was 2006. Extensive replantings are underway at Falletto, the family's Serralunga property, while Giacosa sold Croera, their Nebbiolo parcel in La Morra. Longtime winemaker Dante Scaglione returned as a consultant in 2011, a year that resembles 2007, the last truly great vintage Bruno Giacosa bottled. Let's hope Giacosa can get back on track. I have said it before and will say it again. Bruno Giacosa remains one of my favorite estates, but today's wines pale in comparison next to the best bottles that have emerged from this family-run property over the last several decades. Recent bottles of 1964 Barbaresco Riserva Santo Stefano and 1971 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione have been magnificent, as have bottles of the 2007 Barbaresco Asili Riserva.
