Produced by Bruna Grimaldi in Grinzane Cavour, in the heart of the Langhe hills of Piedmont, Italy, Barolo Bricco Ambrogio 2021 is a prestigious single-vineyard expression of Nebbiolo from one of the region’s most historic terroirs. The Bruna Grimaldi estate has deep roots in the Barolo landscape and is recognised for producing elegant, traditional wines that faithfully reflect the character of each vineyard. Bricco Ambrogio comes from a celebrated MGA (Menzione Geografica Aggiuntiva) in the commune of Roddi, one of Barolo’s most distinctive sites, where south-west facing slopes, calcareous soils and a favourable microclimate allow Nebbiolo to develop exceptional perfume, structure and finesse. The estate’s meticulous vineyard work and traditional approach highlight the elegance and complexity that define great Barolo.
Made from 100% Nebbiolo, Barolo Bricco Ambrogio 2021 showcases the refined character of this exceptional vineyard site. The wine is crafted using traditional Piedmontese methods, with careful extraction and extended ageing that allows Nebbiolo’s natural structure and aromatic complexity to evolve. The 2021 vintage reveals an expressive bouquet of red cherry, raspberry, rose petals and violet, layered with notes of liquorice, tobacco, spice, dried herbs and subtle earthy nuances. On the palate, it is beautifully balanced, combining vibrant acidity, refined tannins and a deep mineral character with a long, elegant finish. Powerful yet graceful, this is a Barolo with both immediate charm and excellent ageing potential. It pairs superbly with truffle dishes, braised meats, wild game, mushroom-based cuisine, aged cheeses and traditional Piedmontese specialities.
