Bruno Giacosa

If you can divide producers of Barolo and Barbaresco into the traditionalists and the modernisers, then Bruno Giacosa falls firmly into the former category. These are wines of the old-school – new oak is not wanted here – and they are none the worse for that. In fact, Giacosa is one of the region’s best winemakers, making exceptional, long-lived Barolos and Barbarescos which are powerful and elegant at the same time – just what Nebbiolo is supposed to be.
