Described as the "grand vin" of this estate, the 2015 Marsiliana is remarkable for its precision and definition. This limited-release Tuscan red is a well-structured blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. The forest and floral notes are some of the fine details mirroring the vineyards of limestone earth nestled among the Maremma pines. Black fruit is matched seamlessly to savory nuances. The vintage is still young, as this wine is built for the long haul. I tasted these wines with Duccio Corsini at his beautiful Villa Le Corti estate in San Casciano Val di Pesa in the Chianti Classico appellation. Prince Corsini has a large land holding in Maremma (mostly used as a hunting reserve), extending over 2,800 hectares with 20 hectares of vines. Those vines are approximately 12 kilometers inland from the sea and were planted in 1996. Monica Larner – The Wine Advocate
Beautiful clarity on the nose with tangerine peel, citrus, licorice, herbs and Chinese spices. Full-bodied and tight. Yet, there are caressing tannins and a mineral finish which carries itself long and succulent. Drink in 2020. - James Suckling

This wine was produced in 2012, but the Giacosa family decided to skip over the very difficult 2013 (especially difficult for Barbera) vintage. The 2014 Barbera d'Alba Falletto is made with estate fruit and shows the power and heft of Serralunga d'Alba. This is a more structured expression with good depth and a generous offering of dark fruit flavors. The finish is marked by a crisp spot of balanced acidity. Monica Larner - The Wine Advocate
This is spicy and fun with chili, berries and licorice. Medium body, bright acidity and a long and flavorful finish. Drink now. James Suckling
A bright, fruity style, offering cherry, blackberry, spice and loam notes, with an element of sweet fruit. The finish lingers with spice and licorice accents. - BS, Wine Spectator
