I'm new to the Giacosa Barbera. Deep inky purple, luscious mouth-feel, ripe dark fruits. I like Barbera and this remind me why.

Silky smooth and perfectly balanced, which comes as a shock after a somewhat harsh Barbera nose.

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.

Much bigger and more fruit forward relative to my notes on the 2007. Dark berries, thick and high acid. Definitely needed food to pair.

Bright raspberry aroma. On palate, also, with spring flowers, minerals, hint of almond. Has acidity and balance to continue enjoying for 2-3 more years
