2020 Barolo, Camilla, Bruna Grimaldi, Piedmont, Italy

Description

This was originally from a vineyard plot known locally as “La Camila”, being one of the farmhouses owned by Camillo Benso, the Count of Cavour. Today, this is a Classico blend, using fruit from San Lorenzo (Verduno), Borzone and Raviole (Grinzane Cavour), and 5% each from Bricco Ambrogio (Roddi) and Badarina (Serralunga d’Alba). This slightly more unusual blend from mostly lighter vineyards creates a wine that is delightfully perfumed and approachable, with red fruits and an easy structure, by hallmarked by Simone’s natural finesse.

Critics reviews

Kerin O'Keefe 92/100
Crushed mint, pressed rose and new leather aromas lead the way on Bruna Grimaldi’s 2020 Camilla. All about finesse and early enjoyment, this is the firm’s entry level Barolo made with grapes from different vineyards. It’s open-knit and already enjoyable, with ripe berry and dark spice flavors smoothed by polished tannins. Drink through 2028.Kerin O'Keefe, KerinOKeefe.com (January 2024)

About this wine

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.

Cantina Bruna Grimaldi

In the 1950s, Giacomo Grimaldi set his family on a quality winemaking path. This saw him move away from bulk production, introduce pioneering viticultural practices, nurture vineyard wellbeing and introduce vintage bottlings. In 1990, the winery passed into the hands of his daughter Bruna, after whom the cantina was consequently renamed.
