Compared to the Giacosa Barbera 2020 (from bought grapes), this Falletto has more depth and structure. This Barbera is sourced from the estate-owned Falletto di Serralunga-vineyard and that pedigree is showing.
Still youthful, but drinking lovely now. — 18 days ago

Decanted for 4 hours. In a spectacular way at the moment. Tannins resolved. Elegance and restrained energy — 9 months ago

Medium ruby , quite wide ruby garnet rim . Really red fruited , aromatic and still quite primary . Slightly spiced red cherry , strawberry , raspberry . On the palate this has sweet red fruits , quite polished tannin and fresh acidity. Spiced cherry , rose water tinged finish of good length . Quite sweetly fruited . This is quite user friendly in some ways , without the apparent structure I was expecting . Overall it’s a enjoyable wine, but perhaps a little simplistic at the moment , maybe more will come with time ? So from now and over the next 10 -15 years perhaps ? — a year ago

A lot of wine in one glass. Full, foot-on-the-gas dark red fruit, but went down easy. A little hairy chested for Sunday night pizza, but fun nonetheless. — 5 years ago

Give it plenty of time in the glass or ideally in a decanter. It is a beautiful wine that needs time to open. Great effort in an off year. — 4 years ago
