Bruno Giacosa – Vino Spumante Extra Brut – 2015

If we talk about the Bruno Giacosa winery, we cite one of the highest realities for qualitative excellence in the Langa, so much so that it is the worldwide standard-bearer of Barbaresco and Barolo wines. Bruno’s story was born in Neive after the Second World War, thanks to his passion for wine passed on by his family. He began to vinify grapes bought but from the most beautiful plots, precisely the best exposed ones, he was the first in the Langa to understand the importance of the vineyard exposures and to choose the best crus for the vinification of wines. As a grape selector, in the 1980s he bought the Falletto vineyard in Serralunga d’Alba, thus starting the production of the famous Barolo, and subsequently the Asili vineyard in Barbaresco, known for giving the Nebbioli an unparalleled refinement and elegance.
The style of the cellar has always been rather traditional, using only large barrels for refinements … but its wines are so famous all over the world for that stamp of finesse elegance, especially for the Nebbiolo grape, but without forgetting the great structure , which keeps the wine alive. The di lui are harmonious wines that are so sensual .. but with great aging potential. From the simplest wines to the great wines, drinking a Bruno Giacosa is always a guarantee!
The Extra Brut sparkling wine is produced only with Pinot Noir grapes from and selected by the best producers of Oltrepò Pavese, probably one of the best wine areas for the cultivation of this blend. The wine rests on its lees for almost 60 months and appears as a soft and complex bubble. Like all his wines, the quality here too is very high enough to be recognized as a model sparkling wine!
