Wild Red Berries, Crushed Roses, and Pinnacle Vigna Le Rocche Majesty

The 2019 Casa Vinicola Bruno Giacosa Barolo Falletto "Vigna Le Rocche" is a legendary, monumental, and aristocratic Nebbiolo representing the absolute pinnacle of Serralunga d’Alba terroir. Sourced from the oldest, prized plot within the Falletto vineyard, this iconic Riserva-level bottling combines extraordinary power with cool-vintage 2019 precision. Soaring aromas of ripe wild cherries, dark raspberries, crushed rose petals, blood orange zest, and dried oregano lead into a full-bodied, satiny palate framed by chiseled, ultra-fine tannins and an endlessly long, mineral-driven finish.

Terroir, History & Acclaim

Critical Recognition:
James Suckling 98 pts
Wine Advocate 96+ pts
  • 98 Points - JamesSuckling.com: Gorgeous aromas of roses that fill the glass along with ripe strawberries, raspberries and forest fruits. Very structured and right with finely toned tannins that are tight, sleek and racy. One for the cellar. Try after 2028.
  • 96+ Points - Monica Larner (Robert Parker's Wine Advocate): With the white label, the 2019 Barolo Falletto Vigna Le Rocche is a generous and expansive wine that hits the palate from all sides. It offers lingering sensations of sweet fruit with a good amount of intensity and muscle power pushing from behind. That forward momentum is fueled by dark fruit, rusty earth, wet clay and blood orange. It shows elegance, substance and finely tuned tones with considerable tension and tightness. This is another bottle to rest at the back of your cellar.
  • The Legendary Vigna Le Rocche Parcel: Located at the highest, sun-drenched section of the Falletto vineyard in Serralunga d’Alba, Vigna Le Rocche features ancient vines planted on iron-rich calcareous clay. This micro-terroir produces Nebbiolo of unmatched concentration, complexity, and cellaring capability.
  • Classic Giacosa Tradition: Fermented in stainless steel and aged slowly in large neutral French oak casks (*botte grande*), Bruno Giacosa's traditional winemaking lets the pristine fruit purity and legendary Serralunga terroir shine through without heavy oak influence.

Highlights

  • 100% Nebbiolo harvested from the prized Vigna Le Rocche plot in Serralunga d’Alba.
  • A radiant 2019 vintage packed with wild red berries, dark cherries, crushed rose petals, blood orange zest, and chalky minerality.
  • Crafted by Casa Vinicola Bruno Giacosa, offering 25 to 50+ years of majestic cellaring potential.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Translucent, glowing garnet-ruby with delicate brick reflections at the rim.
  • Nose: Soaring, complex, and intensely perfumed. It opens with aromas of wild raspberries, red cherries, and pomegranate, accompanied by crushed rose petals, blood orange peel, dried oregano, and crushed stone.
  • Palate: Dry, full-bodied, and structured. The entry brings a rich wave of dark red fruit sap that glides across a muscular mid-palate, held in check by chiseled, fine-grained tannins and vibrant limestone acidity into a long, majestic finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve slightly cool at 16–18°C in large Nebbiolo glasses to allow its complex aromatics to uncoil.
  • Decanting: A generous 1-to-2 hour decant is strongly recommended if opening young. Cellar-worthy through 2060+.
  • Western Pairing: Slow-braised beef short ribs, roasted rack of lamb, tajarin pasta with white truffles, or aged Parmigiano-Reggiano.
  • Asian Pairing: Peking duck, Taiwanese braised pork belly (Lu Rou Fan), charcoal-grilled wagyu beef, or roast goose.
