Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2023-2026, Jancis Robinson MW, Nov 2023

This current vintage is one of best vintages, according to the Giacosa team. Valmaggiore is a steep, south-facing cru in Roero that is difficult to work. Giacosa have been renting it long term so they work the 50- to 60-year-old vines. Production is low, vinification is traditional with a 25-day fermentation with pumpovers then 12 months in botte. Bottled at 14 months and released. Transparent garnet. Pure, fresh nose. Mineral and juicy. Bone-dry finish. Smooth tannins. Mouthwash impression. Definitely the pure Giacosa signature without paying the price of a Barolo or Barbaresco. (JR)
