American distance runner Steve Prefontaine once said, “To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.” The quote might as well have come from Bruno Giacosa. A consummate perfectionist, Giacosa honed his winemaking skill starting at the age of 15. Each vintage was an exercise in painstaking craftsmanship and technical consistency. Any fruit that did not live up to Giacosa’s lofty standards was sold off in bulk. This rigorous approach makes wines like 2013 Bruno Giacosa Barolo Falletto Vigna Le Rocche extraordinarily rare and almost guarantees an ethereal experience. On the nose, it is elegant and refined with hints of red fruits, balsam, wildflowers, licorice, and truffles. The palate unwinds with nuanced fruitiness and a firm tannic frame that should put on weight with age. If there is an issue, it’s that there are a mere 1,150 cases in circulation. The Final Sip: For wine investors, anything with the name “Bruno Giacosa” demands consideration, and 2013 Bruno Giacosa Barolo Falletto Vigna Le Rocche is no exception.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The recent evolution of this wine is a bit confusing. After the 2009 Barolo le Rocche del Falletto was released, the wine was not made in 2010 or 2011. The following year, we got the 2012 Barolo Falletto that I scored last year. We now return to the series with the 2013 Barolo Falleto Vigna Le Rocche—which is, of course, the white label wine. The wine shows extremely elegant and fine characteristics with a dry and streamlined approach. Fruit tones on offer are delicate and nuanced. White truffle, balsam herb, violet and licorice are folded within. The wine was a little reticent when I tasted it and it definitely needs more time to flesh out in the bottle.
