The 2011 Barbera d'Alba Falletto demonstrates a sudden jump in aromatic complexity with the careful introduction of Indian spice, leather, toasted nut and tobacco that coexists beautifully with the wine-s ripe blackberry fruit. The wine sees two months more oak than the other Barbera d-Alba, and this slight change goes a long way in terms of adding extra texture and density. This wine demonstrates that 2011 was an excellent year for Barbera. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022.
With the return of winemaker Dante Scaglione in 2011, the wines of Bruno Giacosa (-the genius of Neive-) continue to impress. Bruna Giacosa, Bruno-s daughter, has taken over daily operations at the winery since her father suffered a stroke in 2006.
