He joined the family business at the age of 15, representing the third generation of his Langhe winemaking family. Giacosa's unfailing pursuit of perfection, his unrivaled palate and his intimate knowledge of vineyards in the Langhe quickly drew recognition and helped establish Piedmont as a leading wine region. In 1980, Giacosa began to acquire prime parcels in Serralunga d'Alba, La Morra and Barbaresco to produce wines that are rightly regarded as the finest expressions of Nebbiolo. His legacy rests with daughter Bruna, who continues to uphold her father's winemaking philosophy to respect traditional techniques while using the best of modern technology. The goal is for each distinguished site to produce articulate, unique wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaker's Tasting Notes: \u003cem\u003eSubtle and elegant with notes of red fruit and dried roses. On the palate, the tannins are present, but fine and well-integrated, and the wine showcases excellent freshness and persistence of fruit.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"The 2023 Nebbiolo d’Alba Valmaggiore pours a bright ruby color and immediately delivers a lifted perfume of cinnamon, anise, preserved cranberries, and wildflowers. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, refreshing acidity, and balanced length, offering more complexity than its category might suggest. This should not be mistaken for a simple entry-level Nebbiolo.\"- \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eJeb Dunnuck. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Made from old vines up to 70-years old, this exquisite Nebbiolo boasts a sumptuous nose of red cherry, strawberry and red plum. A flood of dark florals fills the mouth, perfuming the pristine, fleshy fruit. Suede-like tannins are fine grained with an elegant verticality, stealthy in power yet never overstepping their boundary. Sweet spice nuances of cinnamon and mace lead to an earthy finish redolent of truffles\u003c\/em\u003e.\"- Decanter. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVarietal: Nebbiolo.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Touton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53009655431349,"sku":null,"price":72.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0521\/7101\/4325\/files\/5DC3A765-E4CD-4E8E-BF70-53057D434AFB.jpg?v=1729799787","url":"https:\/\/www.spirowines.com\/products\/bruno-giacosa-valmaggiore-nebbiolo-d-alba-2023","provider":"Spiro Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
