Bruna Grimaldi Barolo "Badarina", DOCG, 2015

Description

Badarina is the symbolic vineyard of our family. It is the expression of the power and minerality that characterize the terroir of Serralunga d’Alba. Here, a unique microclimate and terroir require more time for the Nebbiolo to ripe. 

Tasting Notes

A Barolo of extraordinary complexity which is distinguished by the intensity of the aromas and the great structure. Ethereal bouquet, with red fruits, raspberries, herbs, balsamic hints that emerge with aging. Important tannins, freshness and minerality, for a Barolo of energy that improves over time.

'This wine has already evolved to show some tar and savory aromas. The 2015 Barolo Badarina offers pretty color saturation with linear and fresh lines of plum, black fruit, dark spice and tilled earth. The wine delivers much of the heft and power promised by this Badarina cru in Serralunga d'Alba. If you're looking for a Barolo vintage to pair with a rich meat like liver or game, this could be the one. This is Bruna Grimaldi's flagship Barolo, as her mother was born in Badarina and this site has always had special meaning to her family.'
