Bruno Giacosa Barolo Falletto 2017

Barbaresco, Italy

Kirsch and rose petal aromatics promise more than the palate delivers. Coarse, aggressive tannins overwhelm any fruit concentration, while the finish turns dry and astringent. This lacks the elegance and balance that define great Giacosa Barolo. A disappointing effort that feels overextracted and clumsy.
