There's wonderful perfumes in this young Barbaresco, with flowers and ripe berries, as well as strawberry. Full-bodied, chewy and long. Massive on the finish. A superb wine. To be released spring 2009. Best after 2011. 600 cases made. ?JS

The 2005 Barbaresco Rabaja is the densest and richest of these 2005 Barbarescos. Because it is aged in a slightly smaller cask, the wine shows an explosive personality along with some oak nuances that require bottle age to settle down. This muscular Barbaresco resonates on the palate with layers of spiced, mentholated dark cherries, minerals and licorice. It remains a dense, structured and primary wine in need of serious bottle age for the firm tannins to melt away. This, too, is a sublime wine from Bruno Giacosa. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2025. My May visit with Bruno Giacosa was significant in many ways. It was the first time in many years that the recently departed, long-time oenologist wasn?t on hand to lead the tasting. At the same time, Giacosa appeared to be in higher spirits than I have witnessed in previous recent visits. Oftentimes change can be invigorating, and I certainly hope that will be the case here. New oenologist Giorgio Lavagna has his work cut out for him, but I can only wish him the very best. As for the wines, we spent several hours surveying all the 2005s, 2006s and 2007s from cask, after which we re-visited several of the 2004s from bottle. The 2004s confirmed their stature as masterpieces, yet Giacosa fans will delight at the prospect of a number of potentially outstanding wines in the pipeline. The 2005 Barbarescos have always shown tons of harmony and elegance from cask, so I was happy to find the wines just as outstanding from bottle. Although there are no Red Label Riservas from Giacosa in 2005, the wines display remarkable quality across the board. The rest of the line-up is solid as well.

Azienda Agricola Falletto di Bruno Giacosa
In den vergangenen 40 Jahren hat der auf größte Sorgfalt bedachte Bruno Giacoso viele der besten Barolo- und Barbaresco-Weine im Markt produziert. Sein reiches Wissen, seine Leidenschaft und Neugier haben den Ruf dieser spektakulären Kellerei begründet. Seine rastlose Suche nach den besten Trauben von den hervorragendsten Weinbergen hat sich buchstäblich bezahlt gemacht. Neben seinen vinifizierten gekauften Trauben mit der Bezeichnung Casa Vinicola Bruno Giacosa ist er der neuen Welle der Gutskellereien gefolgt und hat seine eigenen Weinberge erworben: Asili in Barbaresco und Falletto in Serralunga, deren Erzeugnisse das Etikett Azienda Agricola tragen. Das Weingut ist bekannt für seine Barbaresco crus Asili, Rabajà, Santo Stefano und Barolo crus Vigna Rionda. Seine Falletto- und Villero-Weine zeigen unangestrengt die harmonische Komplexität von Nebbiolo. Letztlich, dank der vereinten Kräfte von Giacosa und der traditionellen Methoden von Weinmacher Dante Scaglione, setzen sein Barbera, Dolcetto und Roere Arneis Kritiker wie Weinliebhaber gleichermaßen immer wieder in Verzücken.
