Known above all for the exceptional quality of the wines Giacosa has produced over the years, Valmaggiore still represents the peak of value in the current range. A wonderful vineyard site now popularised by a handful of producers including Giacosa, the Valmaggiore bottling displays a noticeable step up in nuance and structure to the ‘regular’ Nebbiolo d’Alba which comes from various sites in Roero.

Nebbiolo’s typical red fruits and red rose are abundant in the Nebbiolo Valmaggiore, with more chisel and an abundance of fine tannin in any given vintage. This is a very significant wine for Giacosa but also Roero, and one of the wines that put the region on the radar of the industry.
