Rich, dense and concentrated, Giacosa’s superb 2003 Barbera d’Alba Superiore Falletto offers a complex range of jammy dark fruit, spice, tar and licorice flavors with great persistence on the palate. Despite its ripeness, the wine appears to have plenty of structure underneath and carries its 15% alcohol with grace. Even better in the bottle than it was from barrel, this exceptional wine is not to be missed. In addition to 6,773 750ml bottles there are also 1,000 magnums of this juice which Giacosa feels has enough structure to age well. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2010.
