Bruno Giacosa, Barolo Le Rocche Del Falletto Si Serralunga D’Alba, 2003 (1.5L)
A magnum of mature Giacosa Barolo from the great Falletto cru is a special-occasion bottle, and the larger format means it has aged even more slowly and gracefully than a standard bottle. Le Rocche del Falletto sits on a steep, southwest-facing amphitheater of calcareous clay in Serralunga d'Alba, ground Bruno Giacosa rated as the finest in the region for elegant, age-worthy Barolo. The wine spent 32 months in large French oak botti and years more in bottle. The 2003 was a famously hot, dry vintage, so this shows riper, more opulent fruit than a classic cool year, and at over two decades old it has mellowed into full maturity. This is ready to drink now. Decant carefully and pour for a crowd.
