Description

The Barbaresco "Rabajà" by Bruno Giacosa is an elegant, intense and complex wine, born from old vines of the Rabajà cru and aged in large casks. Dried flowers, red fruits and sweet spices alternate with great harmony and beautiful complexity in a robust, clear and structured sip. A dream barbaresco!

Bruno Giacosa
From this winery
  • Start up year: 1900
  • Oenologist: Dante Scaglione
  • Bottles produced: 300.000
  • Hectares: 20
The story starts in a simple way, with the native varietals of the Langa and Roero regions and vineyards cultivated with loving care. It continues with pure, meticulous vinification, with ageing in grand oak barrels and with unforgettable Reserves. But it also includes, naturally enough, the choice not to bottle those mediocre vintages deemed unworthy of vinification.

Bruno’s art encompasses passion and clear judgement but, above all, the utmost respect for his product, its admirers and for the beautiful countryside where he and his family were born and raised.

The Azienda Agricola Falletto Winery comprises twenty hectares of vineyards within the Serralunga d'Alba, La Morra and Barbaresco areas. The vine growing and wine making processes are followed through with care from beginning to end, culminating with vinification and ageing within our cellars in Neive.
Some of our wine is produced with grapes grown by those farmers who have always worked our winery and whose prestigious vineyards truly deserve the ‘Bruno Giacosa’ label.
