Bruno Giacosa Nebbiolo d'Alba Vigna Valmaggiore 2022
Sourced from the hallowed cellars of Bruno Giacosa, the Nebbiolo d'Alba Vigna Valmaggiore is a wine that delivers the class and complexity of the Langhe region without the decade-long wait. Referred to by aficionados as a "baby Barolo," this wine offers an immediate, elegant expression of the noble Nebbiolo grape from a renowned single vineyard. This vintage showcases the typical Giacosa hallmark: impeccable purity and balance. It provides a window into the estate’s genius at an accessible level, making it essential for both Nebbiolo enthusiasts and those new to Piedmontese fine wine. The Vigna Valmaggiore vineyard is famous for producing wines of fragrance and finesse and the generous 2022 vintage highlights the vibrant, fruit-forward side of Nebbiolo. Intense and highly aromatic, leading with classic notes of violet, ripe red cherries, and rose petal, complemented by subtle hints of spice and dried herbs. The palate is medium-bodied and remarkably elegant, defined by its refreshing acidity and structured yet mildly chalky tannins. Flavours focus on bright strawberry and dark chocolate, concluding with a long, clean finish. The Giacosa Nebbiolo d'Alba Vigna Valmaggiore has the structure to age gracefully but is soft enough to be enjoyed right now, offering a rewarding experience in its youth.
