These three 1978s from Bruno Giacosa were all lovely. None are considered among his very best work by thecognoscenti, so they remain somewhat under the radar, but they are jewels just the same. The 1978 Barolo Pugnane was pretty, if a touch frail. Like the Arione, any remaining bottles should be drunk up, unless they are sitting in a cold cellar and have never been moved since release.

About the producer
Bruno Giacosa
Bruno Giacosa – now run by daughter Bruna – is a cult Nebbiolo producer, that has consistently made some of the best single-vineyard Barbaresco and Barolo from the 1960s onwards. The“red-label” Riservas are some of the finest and most collectable wines in Italy.
