Barbaresco "Gianmate'"

Fratelli Giacosa Barbaresco is 100% Nebbiolo from a single - vineyard, Gianmate , located in the Basarin area, one of the most prestigious crus in Neive - Barbaresco. Organically farmed. The clay - rich sandstones, the ideal south - southeasterly exposure straddling the ridge of the hill, the ageing in small barrels and lengthy time in bottle give the Barbaresco from this vineyard particular elegance of fruity notes and roundness of tannins – distinct from the rest of the Basarin hill. This is also the only Fratelli Giacosa wine that is aged in barriques (as opposed to the more traditional large barrels used for the other wines). Barbaresco Gianmate is ideal for special occasions paired with roasted, grilled meat or game.
