2018 - Barolo Camilla Bruna Grimaldi - 6x75cl

Goedhuis

The family’s ‘Barolo Classico’, named after a small farm near the winery, is a blend of fruit from their vineyards in Verduno, Grinzane Cavour, Roddi, La Morra, and Serralunga. An example of where the sum is greater than its parts thanks to the myriad of different soils at play, Simone explains, for example that the fruit from Grinzane Cavour contributes breadth and earthiness, grippier tannins and concentrated fruit, La Morra fruit lends an elegant perfume and softness. This is a vibrant and lifted Barolo classico that shows evocative red cherry fruit on the nose entangled with deeper darker fruits, smoke, bresaola and dried rose. The 2018 shines in its purity and the lifted tarocco orange, sour cherry and raspberry flavours burst out and dance across the palate, giving pleasing crunch. You can sense an earthy undertone of freshly tilled soil as well as some minerals, cinnamon, and bark. There is a racy, lip-smacking energy to this wine and ripe, robust tannins.
