Bruno Giacosa
One of the legendary winemakers of the world, Bruno Giacosa fashioned the most prestigious single-vineyard Barolo and Barbaresco wines during a career that covered nearly eight decades. He joined the family business at the age of 15, representing the third generation of his Langhe winemaking family.
Giacosa's abiding pursuit of perfection, his supreme palate and his intimate knowledge of vineyards in the Langhe quickly drew recognition and helped establish Piedmont as a leading wine region. In 1980, Giacosa began to acquire prime parcels in Serralunga d'Alba, La Morra and Barbaresco to produce wines that are rightly regarded as the finest expressions of Nebbiolo. His legacy rests with daughter Bruna, who continues to uphold her father's winemaking philosophy to respect traditional techniques while using the best of modern technology.
