Bruno Giacosa

Bruno Giacosa (1929–2018) was a renowned Italian winemaker from Piedmont, celebrated for producing exceptional wines from the Barolo and Barbaresco appellations, crafted from the Nebbiolo grape variety. He began his career at the age of 15, working in the family business, and quickly earned a reputation as a perfectionist dedicated to quality.

Giacosa was known for his strict standards; in years when he deemed the quality of the grapes insufficient, he chose not to produce wine but instead sold the grapes in bulk. His wines were often aged in traditional large oak casks, which contributed to their elegance and longevity.
