The Grimaldi family has always farmed uniquely indigenous grape varieties: Arneis, a very old native grape to this region and the only white grape of our winery; Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo are the red grapes. These grape varieties are spread over different villages in the Barolo region and the neighbouring municipalities.

$29.99
ABOUT THIS WINE
Nebbiolo is the synonym of elegance which is pursued in this wine. Nebbiolo d’Alba is the young and fresh expression of this grape variety. This is a 100% Nebbiolo wine produced with grapes from parcels located in three villages.
Younger than 25 year old vines. Hand harvested. The grapes are destemmed and fermented in temperature-controlled tanks where skin-contact maceration is enhanced for about 15-20 days. Punch downs and délastage are carried out carefully. A spontaneous malolactic fermentation occurs after the alcoholic fermentation. It follows the racking of the wine into 500 and 700 litres tonneaux and big barrels where it ages for about 6 months.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
The vineyards form the heritage, the beating heart of Bruna Grimaldi Azienda Agricola. Bruna and Franco have always believed in this land and, with hard work and dedication, in the past 20 years have bought plots in different municipalities in the Barolo area, all of them being well suited to the Nebbiolo and Barbera vines.
Their winery owns 15 hectares planted with vines, divided between small and large plots. The fragmentation of the vineyards is one of the strengths of our business because it allows them to offer high quality from the different terroirs that make up the Langhe where microclimates, soils and exposures conveys important and unique characteristics to the wines.
