Large Format Big Bottles

Large-format wines are an ingenious piece of design, as every veteran enthusiast will confirm. There is no occasion where a tasteful bottle won’t improve the mood of everyone present, and this makes them the perfect gift. A large-format bottle of quality wine can and will outlast entire generations, and add style, personality, and boldness to your precious collection. Just its appearance lets everyone in the room know how serious you are when it comes to fine wine, and any potential naysayers will instantly be converted by the precisely fermented flavor combination and elegant texture of one of these works of art.

The freshness of a large-format wine makes it perfect for warm seasons, as it can reinvigorate you even through the blistering heat of an early mid-summer afternoon. Time itself stops when the best wines are sampled, as the liquid dances in your mouth, leaving an aftertaste that echoes like a past love, full of emotional threads and imagery. The hardest part is convincing yourself to open the bottle, as there is always the temptation of just letting it age further, untouched.

Navigating the ever-changing landscape of fine wine is a compelling endeavor, and it’s only natural that people would seek help with their decisions. We made it our raison d’être to introduce you to the most astounding blends known to man, so that you may discover and develop a deep, passionate love for wine that ages as gracefully as a proud large-format bottle in your cellar. Each bottle of these is a treasure in its own right, and you should cherish them as a friend, one that’s loyal to you even in the most desperate times. Without further ado:

2017 bruno giacosa barolo falletto vigna le rocche riserva Italy Red

Roses and lavender with other flowers. Peaches. Glorious fruit of dark plums and ripe strawberries. This is dense and intense but there are layers of very fine tannins, like fine cashmere. Goes on for minutes. Opens in the mouth. Almost endless. Three years in cask and two years in bottle before January 2023 release. Give this at least five to six years.James Suckling | 98 JSThis year’s top-end release from Bruno Giacosa is the 2017 Barolo Riserva Falletto Vigna Le Rocche (in the red label). Bottled in 2019, the wine stands apart thanks to a hot and dry growing season that Bruna Giacosa is very excited about. In fact, she prefers 2017 to 2015, although the two vintages do share similarities. This wine is very open-knit, and it reveals dark concentration in the form of ripe blackberry, candied cherry and spice. The tannins show a loose, granular quality that adds considerably to the textural impact of this Riserva.Robert Parker Wine Advocate | 97 RPThis supple red is elegant and powerful, driven by an underlying mineral element. Strawberry, cherry, rose, iron and wild thyme aromas and flavors persist, building to a long aftertaste, while dense, refined tannins lend support. Offers superb balance and length. Best from 2025 through 2045. 110 cases imported.Wine Spectator | 97 WS
