Product Description
RP95 "The recent evolution of this wine is a bit confusing. After the 2009 Barolo le Rocche del Falletto was released, the wine was not made in 2010 or 2011. The following year, we got the 2012 Barolo Falletto that I scored last year. We now return to the series with the 2013 Barolo Falleto Vigna Le Rocche—which is, of course, the white label wine. The wine shows extremely elegant and fine characteristics with a dry and streamlined approach. Fruit tones on offer are delicate and nuanced. White truffle, balsam herb, violet and licorice are folded within. The wine was a little reticent when I tasted it and it definitely needs more time to flesh out in the bottle." ML for TWA Jun 2017
During my annual tasting with Bruna Giacosa in Neive, I learned a few new things. First, the newest vintage (2013) of the Barbaresco Rabajà now uses fruit from a new parcel directly owned by the estate. That means production of this wine is assured for the future. The Barolo Riserva Falletto Vigna le Rocche was produced in 2014 as was the 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Asili. These are the two red label wines. The Barolo will be released in 2020 and the Barbaresco hits the market in 2019. Production numbers are low on both wines." Monica Larner for RobertParker.com Published: Jun 30, 2017
