Bruno Giacosa Barolo DOCG
Barolo DOCG, Piemonte
Tasting Notes
Red garnet in color. Intense and fine fragrance with notes of fresh red fruit notes. On the palate it presents a good freshness and balanced tannins.
Vintage Notes
When comparing the 2020 vintage to the previous ones, we can note an early budding which was caused by a mild winter with regular rain and above average temperatures. Sebsequently, thanks to a good water supply, due to a well distributed medium intensity of rainfall, and temperatures that reached seasonal averages, the vines were able to develop regularly during all of the phenological phases. All of this allowed a good control of fungal pathogens (oidiums and Peronospora) in the vineyards.

The 2018 vintage was well received after the turbulent 2017 growing year. A longer winter heralded in heavy rains in May and June, which gave the vines much needed water after the previous year's drought. Throughout the summer, conditions were generally ideal with warm days and cool nights, making harvest an overall success. Early samples of Barbaresco and Barolo are indicating a soft, balanced vintage.
