The vineyard features steep slopes and a unique microclimate that contributes to the wine's exceptional quality. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including long maceration and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a complex and elegant wine with notes of red fruit, spices, and earthy undertones. This wine is a perfect representation of the classic Barolo style, with a full body, firm tannins, and a long finish.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Barolo from Giacomo Grimaldi is a stunning expression of the Nebbiolo grape.On the nose, complex aromas of black cherry, dried rose petals, leather, and earthy truffles come together for an unforgettable experience. On the palate, red fruit flavors of raspberry and cranberry dance across the tongue, while savory notes of tobacco, cocoa, and forest floor linger in the background. The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, giving this full-bodied wine a well-rounded texture. This Barolo will surely open up more as it ages, revealing even more complexity and intensity. Enjoy this wine with a hearty Italian feast.
