Falletto di Bruno Giacosa 'Vigna Le Rocche' 2013 Barolo 150cl
From the oldest vines of Giacosa's legendary Falletto single vineyard of Vigna Le Rocche.
Barolo, often referred to as the “king of wines”, must always be made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes-, and matured for a minimum period of 38 months, 18 of which must be in oak barrels - (traditionally in large Slavonian oak casks).
Barolo wine comes from a traditional village of the same name located in the northern region of Piemonte. It is so revered that it was one of just three wines awarded DOCG status on the same day that the classification was introduced in July 1980. The region encompasses 11 villages in the heart of Piemonte, Most of the estates are small and family-owned, therefore production of wines from the Barolo DOCG is low.
This is a 1.5 litre magnum bottle. Large-format bottles are great for extended ageing periods due to the wine's slower rate of maturation.
Please note that due to the additional weight, there shall be a shipping charge for 2 bottles applied to this lot.
