One tried-and-true trick to find good value is to seek out a great producer's entry-level wine — and few estates reward that approach like Bruno Giacosa. The top Barolos and Barbarescos from this house can fetch over a thousand dollars, but this Barbera, grown at the legendary Falletto estate in Serralunga, gets the same hands. Falletto is the same Grand Cru-equivalent site that produces Giacosa's Barolo Falletto and the iconic Le Rocche del Falletto Riserva. The result is among Piedmont's most serious Barberas — classy, classical, with genuine structure to grow on.
