The King of Barolo at His Absolute Peak. If there is one bottle that defines the legacy of Bruno Giacosa, it is the Red Label Riserva from Le Rocche del Falletto. This specific bottle, from the legendary 2001 vintage and in the rare Magnum format, is a monument to Italian winemaking.

The Vineyard: Le Rocche del Falletto (Serralunga d'Alba) Unlike the 1970s bottlings, this wine carries the "Azienda Agricola Falletto" label, indicating it was grown entirely in Giacosa's own estate vineyards. "Le Rocche" is the steepest, most prized plot within the Falletto cru, known for producing wines of immense power, iron-like structure, and ethereal complexity.

The Vintage: 2001 2001 is widely considered one of the greatest vintages of the modern era in Piedmont. It combines classic structure with perfect physiological ripeness. Critics have consistently awarded this specific wine near-perfect scores (98-100 points), calling it a "legend in the making."
