WINE DESCRIPTION
Luigi Einaudi's Terlo Vigna Costa Grimaldi stands as a testament to the rich history and excellence of the Barolo region in Piedmont, Italy. Emanating from the esteemed Terlo vineyard, specifically the Costa Grimaldi section, this wine is crafted from Nebbiolo grapes that are nurtured on terrains known for their unique microclimate and marly-clay soils. Luigi Einaudi's long-standing tradition of winemaking finesse ensures that every bottle captures the profound essence of the terroir.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Terlo Vigna Costa Grimaldi Barolo from Luigi Einaudi boasts a deep garnet hue that hints at its intense character.The nose is greeted with a compelling melange of dried cherries, rose petals, tobacco leaf, and subtle undertones of licorice and earthy truffle. As you take a sip, the palate is enveloped in a rich tapestry of flavors - red berries, plums, and a hint of spice, beautifully framed by structured tannins and a vibrant acidity. The finish is profound, lingering with traces of dark fruit, leather, and an inherent minerality. This Barolo, with its depth and elegance, pairs wonderfully with robust dishes like truffle risotto, braised beef, or aged cheeses. A true reflection of Barolo's nobility and the meticulous care of the Einaudi estate.
