One of the legendary winemakers of the world, Bruno Giacosa crafted the most prestigious single-vineyard Barolo and Barbaresco wines during a career that spanned nearly eight decades. He joined the family business at the age of 15, representing the third generation of his Langhe winemaking family. Giacosa’s unfailing pursuit of perfection, his unrivalled palate and his intimate knowledge of vineyards in the Langhe quickly drew recognition and helped establish Piedmont as a leading wine region. In 1982, 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. 

In addition to his work in Barolo and Barberesco, Giacosa, along with Vietti were pioneers in the development of Arneis and the Roero region in the Roero Hill, just west of Langhe.  While there are certainly lower-priced examples of Roero Arneis, Giacosa's bottlings are considered a benchmark for style and quality.
