Piemonte’s Langhe region is famed for the great winemakers it has produced over the past century. Yet, few can rival Bruno Giacosa, not only for the stature of his work, but for the dizzying number of famous wines he made in a career that began in 1961 and ended with his death on January 21, 2018.

TASTING NOTES: Very fresh wine. High acidity. Green apples and peach galore. Very citrus - lemon zest and grapefruit among the usual suspects. Unexpectedly dry.

 

FOOD PAIRINGS: Seared scallops with a citrus-infused butter sauce, garnished with toasted almonds. The citrus and almond in the meal will uplift the fruity and nutty notes within the wine. Alternatively, try roasted chicken with a pear and thyme stuffing, served alongside a creamy risotto.
