Following his sad passing in January 2018, the reins of this illustrious estate passed fully to his daughters, Bruna and Marina Giacosa. Having already steered the winery forward for years alongside legendary consultant oenologist Dante Scaglione, the sisters continue to drive the family legacy with the exact same uncompromising, passionate pursuit of perfection, ensuring the bottles remain a pure, unadulterated expression of their precise location and terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThe estate is famous for pioneering the single-vineyard \"cru\" concept in Piedmont, famously separating its production into two distinct labels to give everyday drinkers absolute clarity.

Beyond these muscular reds, the family applies their rigorous standards to taming the region's white varieties, producing a fragrant, straw-gold \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"843\"\u003eRoero Arneis\u003c\/b\u003e bursting with crisp white fruits and mineral freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eIn the cellar, the winemaking philosophy is a masterclass in updated tradition, purposely avoiding the fashionable use of small, heavily toasted French oak barrels. Instead, the family matures their wines in massive, neutral 5,000-litre Slovenian oak casks to ensure the wood never overpowers the fruit. This delicate approach preserves the intense, natural freshness and floral bouquets unique to the Langhe. The family's integrity is so absolute that if a vintage fails to meet their soaring standards, they refuse to bottle it; they famously sold off their entire production in unbalanced years like 2006 and 2010. When perfection is achieved, the bottles are released as a legendary \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"687\"\u003eRiserva\u003c\/b\u003e with a striking, bold red label, representing the absolute pinnacle of premium Italian craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bruno-giacosa-roero-arneis-white-wine","title":"Bruno Giacosa Roero Arneis 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBruno Giacosa Roero Arneis is made from the 'Arneis' white grape variety, native to Piedmont and which performs particularly well on the sandy hills of Roero, northwest of Alba.

This vintage showcases the typical Giacosa hallmark: impeccable purity and balance. It provides a window into the estate’s genius at an accessible level, making it essential for both Nebbiolo enthusiasts and those new to Piedmontese fine wine. The Vigna Valmaggiore vineyard is famous for producing wines of fragrance and finesse and the generous 2022 vintage highlights the vibrant, fruit-forward side of Nebbiolo. Intense and highly aromatic, leading with classic notes of violet, ripe red cherries, and rose petal, complemented by subtle hints of spice and dried herbs. The palate is medium-bodied and remarkably elegant, defined by its refreshing acidity and structured yet mildly chalky tannins. Flavours focus on bright strawberry and dark chocolate, concluding with a long, clean finish. The Giacosa Nebbiolo d'Alba Vigna Valmaggiore has the structure to age gracefully but is soft enough to be enjoyed right now, offering a rewarding experience in its youth.
