Carlo Giacosa Barbaresco DOCG 2022

The 2022 vintage of Carlo Giacosa's Barbaresco builds upon the estate's storied style, presenting the same pure, classic Nebbiolo profile as before—just with a hint more fullness and warmth from the year.

In the glass, the wine is garnet red, and the nose opens broadly and intensely with ripe red fruits, licorice, and cinnamon in beautiful balance.

The taste is dry and full-bodied with a fine structure and a tannin-rich, yet well-balanced texture that provides a long, harmonious finish.

Barbaresco 2022 is ideal for hearty dishes—particularly beef, lamb, and game—and it pairs excellently with aged cheeses. It is also a wine suited for quiet, contemplative enjoyment without food, allowing the depth and complexity to stand out purely.

The wine is made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes from three of the estate's own vineyards in Barbaresco. The soil is compact with plenty of limestone and clay, and the vineyards are situated at altitudes of 240–270 meters with exposures from the south, southwest, and east. The grapes are destemmed and crushed, before the must ferments with skin contact in temperature-controlled steel tanks. Subsequently, the wine is aged in large French oak barrels of 20–45 hl, and finally in bottles in the estate's dark cellars, where it develops its elegant and traditional character.

A classic, finely-tuned, and extremely harmonious Barbaresco from Carlo Giacosa.
