Bruno Giacosa Barolo Falletto 2019

WineSaint
Rough-hewn tannins dominate this Falletto, masking whatever fruit lies beneath. Earthy notes of forest floor, dried herbs and worn leather struggle to emerge through the astringent grip. The structure suggests serious wine, but lacks the seamless integration that defines great Giacosa. Time may soften the edges, though don't expect the usual magic.
