Serralunga, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyAzienda Bruna Grimaldi is a family-owned winery in the hills of Barolo, now in the capable hands of Bruna, who takes over from the generations of winemakers who preceded her. Bruna and her husband, Franco Fiorino, put the winery on the map, bottling their first label in 1999. From younger (up to 25 years) vines on the mid-slope Barolo borders in Diano d’Alba, this Nebbiolo had 2-3 weeks skin contact and underwent ferment in stainless, followed by 6 months' aging in 500 and 700 litres tonneaux and big barrels. Graceful throughout, as is her way, this charms with wild roses, perfumed black cherries, wild raspberries, and a fresh woodsiness through the bright, tart finish. Tannins are slight and grippy, and acidity is lofted.Tasted: 03 September 2021Tasted by: Prices:
Serralunga, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyThe Grimaldi Nebbiolo d'Alba is crafted to be elegant, and a red wine you can drink sooner than any of its big brother cousins Barbaresco or Barolo. The fruit comes off several sites ranging from southeast to southwest exposures at altitudes between 250-450m. The classic ferment is aged 12-15 months in 500 and 700 litre tonneaux. The colour is pale orange-red, the nose earthy with some of those tarry red cherry aromas the spill on to the palate. Here the dryness and the acidity kicks in, so you know you're drinking Italian red wine from Piedmont, and you begin to think about pasta all'uovo, pasta with rich sauces, grilled meats, raw beef, and mature cheeses.Tasted: 30 October 2020Tasted by: Prices:
