WINE OVERVIEW
Giacosa Fratelli is a 5th-generation family-run, Piedmont winery founded in 1895 by sharecropper Giuseppe Giacosa, who bought their Neive winery after winning the Italian lottery. The family farms 50 hectares of vines across Piedmont including Monforte d’Alba and Castiglione Falletto in Barolo and Neive in Barbaresco. The family, including next generation twin brothers Mauro and Alessandro, deeply believe in reducing their consumption and carbon emissions. They work sustainably in the vineyard and winery - soon to be a zero emissions facility - to preserve the terroir and history of these traditional Piemonte wines.
