Bruna Grimaldi

Bruna Grimaldi's grandfather established this estate in 1957 but it was Bruna who began selling wine under the Bruna Grimaldi name with the 1999 vintage (previously, the fruit was mostly sold off). The estate owns 11 hectares of vines, including three Barolo vineyards in three different villages. The Grimaldi Barolos are fermented in stainless steel, then go through their malolactic fermentations in cement tanks before being racked into big barrels and 500-to-700-liter tonneaux for aging. Racking is minimal. Grimaldi recently completed construction of a spacious new barrel shed. But her production today is about 70,000 barrels and she is not looking to expand. Grimaldi described 2010 as "a more classic ager than 2011," while 2009 is "more facile, to drink earlier than 2010 or 2008; and it wasn't a great year for barbera." This is strictly a family affair, with son Simone having completed enology high school and now at university for two more years.
