The wine

Cette cuvée marque le dernier millésime du Santo Stefano de Bruno Giacosa. En quelques décennies, ce cru de Barbaresco situé à Neive a atteint un statut mythique, grâce aux embouteillages de Giacosa, proposés entre 1960 et 2011. La parcelle de 8,2 hectares appartient à la famille Stupino, du Castello di Neive, qui assurait la culture des raisins, mais qui les a repris pour sa propre production en 2012. Les nebbiolos plantés dans les années 1960 s’étendent sur des sols argileux riches en minéraux et bénéficient de la proximité de la rivière Tanaro qui crée un micro-climat favorable à la parfaite maturation des raisins. Les baies vendangées à la main macèrent longuement. Puis, les jus maturent deux ans en foudres de chêne avant un élevage supplémentaire en bouteille. Cette dernière cuvée capture parfaitement l’esprit de ce terroir, avec un vin qui exhale des notes de petits fruits rouges, de pétale de rose, de réglisse et de cuir. Le palais est parfaitement structuré, les tannins polis enrobant un fruit très pur de cerise noire relevé d’une touche d’épice, avant une longue finale savoureuse.

Information about domain Bruno Giacosa

Bruno Giacosa, who passed away in January 2018, was an iconic Italian winemaker, notably in the Barolo and Barbaresco appellations. His career began very early at the age of 13, when he helped his parents in the family wine business. He also learned very young about grape selection during harvesting. This allowed him to establish a reputation as an excellent négociant. Before acquiring his own domaine (Azienda Agricola Falletto), he vinified grapes from prestigious crus. On the domaine, red wines are macerated in thermoregulated stainless steel vats. White wines are aged in stainless steel and Barberas and Nebbiolos are aged in large oak barrels. Ageing lasts between 1 and 3 years and the wines are then stored in bottles for a while prior to sale.
