Lot #499. Bruno Giacosa Barolo Falletto di Serralunga d'Alba 1999

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Region: Italy, Piedmont, Barolo.
Score: 94 WA.
The outstanding 1999 Barolo Falletto is a very firm garnet, with smoky clove, cinnamon, plum and cherry aromas and a heady, warming contribution from the alcohol. Its packed red and black fruit flavors, powerful structure, and the intensity and length which mark Nebbiolo from Serralunga, are the tell-tale signs of a classic in the making. The rise in textural fullness on the finish suggests that this is a Barolo to cellar. Wine Advocate #149, Oct 2003
Provenance: The Hanseatic Cellar
Notes: Very lightly scuffed, very lightly damp stained, very lightly mold stained label.
