About this wine
The estate's white wine, made from 100% Arneis in the Roero Arneis DOCG appellation. Straw-yellow with greenish highlights, it offers a fresh bouquet mixing floral notes with citrus and hints of white fruit, and a dry, savory, mineral, balanced palate that echoes the aromas perceived on the nose.
An easy, food-friendly white and a nice change of pace from the estate's Nebbiolo-focused range.
Sommelier's Note
"A reminder that this Barbaresco specialist can do more than Nebbiolo — Sara is a clean, mineral-driven Arneis worth keeping in the fridge."

バルバレスコ オヴェッロ
Barbaresco Ovello
RedNebbiolo
The estate's flagship wine, sourced from roughly 1.9 hectares of southwest-facing vines in the celebrated Ovello cru on the northern edge of the Barbaresco commune. Fermented with native yeasts and macerated for around 15 days, the wine ages for approximately two and a half years in French oak followed by further refinement in barrel and bottle before release. Ovello's calcareous clay soils and elevated position (250-340m) give the wine its structure, floral lift, and long aging potential.
バルバレスコ モンテフィコ
Barbaresco Montefico
RedNebbiolo
A single-cru Barbaresco from 1.36 hectares of south-facing vines in the Montefico cru, farmed by the family since 1992. Grown at 180-230m on compact calcareous clay soils, the grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with roughly 40 days of maceration and age for about three years in large oak casks, yielding a wine of intense fruit, spice, and firm structure.
バルバレスコ アジリ
Barbaresco Asili
RedNebbiolo
A single-cru Barbaresco from the historic Asili vineyard — purchased by founder Carlo in 1964, the year of his marriage — at 250m elevation with southwest exposure. Spontaneously fermented with 45-60 days of maceration and aged in French oak, this bottling shows the refined, perfumed elegance for which Asili is celebrated, earning scores of 95-96 points from critics for recent vintages.
バルバレスコ ナリン
Barbaresco Narin
RedNebbiolo
The estate's classic, entry-level Barbaresco, blended from three of the family's own crus — Ovello, Montefico, and Asili. Named 'Narin,' the Piemontese dialect nickname for founder Donato Giacosa (Carlo's father), this bottling was first produced in 1993. Native-yeast fermented with roughly 45 days of maceration, it ages about three years in large French oak casks plus further bottle age before release.
バルバレスコ リゼルヴァ ルーカ
Barbaresco Riserva Luca
RedNebbiolo
The estate's top Riserva, produced only in the best vintages and named after fourth-generation winemaker Luca Giacosa. A blend of two of the estate's most prized crus — Montefico and Ovello — it shows a broad, intense bouquet of ripe fruit, licorice, and cinnamon over a full, structured palate with excellent tannic texture, built for long aging.
ランゲ ネッビオーロ マリア・グラツィア
Langhe Nebbiolo Maria Grazia
RedNebbiolo
A Langhe Nebbiolo named in honor of Maria Grazia Giacosa, the fourth-generation family member who runs the estate. Made from Nebbiolo grown in estate-owned vineyards next to the winery, it offers a broad, fruity bouquet of raspberry and redcurrant with a dry, full, structured, and mineral palate — a more approachable, earlier-drinking counterpart to the estate's Barbaresco crus.
