Giacosa's red-label Riserva is made only in vintages he judged exceptional, and 2016 is among the most celebrated Barolo vintages of the century. Falletto is his monopole; Le Rocche its finest parcel.
Cellaring perspective
A wine built for the long hold. 2016 Barolo is structured for decades, and this Riserva will reward patience well past 2035. Opened early, it needs hours of air; kept, it is a cornerstone bottle.
