Giacomo Grimaldi, Piedmont, Italy
Founded in 1930, this small winery has grown step by step, producing a select number of wines. It released the first bottles of its own in 1996. Three Barolos. Two crus: Le Coste, one of the most important in the entire Barolo area and owned by the Grimaldi family since 1930; the other, the unique Sotto Castello di Novello, made with grapes grown on various plots purchased by Ferruccio Grimaldi, who was fascinated by the area and its excellent aspect. The third is a classic, traditional Barolo made from grapes grown in Terlo, in the commune of Barolo, and Ravera, in the commune of Novello.
These are accompanied by a beautiful Nebbiolo from the Valmaggiore vineyard in the Roero area, on the left bank of the Tanaro river. And two Barberas, one aged in wood and the other to be drunk young. Lastly there is a Dolcetto d'Alba which bears all the finesse of these hills. All from little plots of land pieced together with dedication and the knowledge that the vineyard is what makes the wine.
Tasting Notes
You need to be pistìn, or fussy, to make a good Barbera, grandpa Ernesto used to say. Ferruccio Grimaldi has taken this on board to create this territorial, fresh, clean, polished, genuine Barbera.
