Description
 
“The First Growth of Piedmont” - the House of Bruno Giacosa has been making wines since 1871 and is now in the hands of the third generation. The position (high hill - 400 meters above sea level), the propitious exposure (south/southwest) and the peculiar microclimate due to the amphitheatre-like location of the vineyards ensure remarkable growing condition for the vines. Giacosa has long been producing some of Italy’s greatest wines.

The 2004 Barolo Vigna Croera reveals pretty aromatics and notes of smoke, tar, roses, herbs and the small red fruits that are characteristic of the wines of La Morra. Made in a medium-bodied, delicate style it possesses a graceful, feminine personality and finessed tannins. Even though the wine continued to gain weight in the glass I noted that it was less expressive than when I tasted it from barrel in April 2007. The Croera is made from a high altitude plot in the Serradenari district of La Morra. This site has never been particularly well regarded for Nebbiolo. Long-time oenologist Dante Scaglione told me he expects the vines to only yield top-flight Barolo in truly great vintages. WA90
