A historic figure in Barolo and Barbaresco, Bruno Giacosa is a true icon of Piedmontese winemaking—one of the finest ambassadors of Italy’s viticultural heritage. A master of Nebbiolo, the region’s emblematic grape, he never strayed from his native terroir, where he founded Azienda Agricola Falletto in 1967, earning worldwide acclaim among wine lovers.

Today, his daughter Bruna Giacosa carries on his legacy, following in the footsteps of her father, who passed away in 2018. Recognised across the globe and featured on the world’s finest tables, the Giacosa family wines embody the soul of timeless Italy. Refined and deeply expressive, shaped by Piedmont’s greatest terroirs, they strike a perfect balance—powerful yet never excessive, elegant yet true to tradition.
