2018 Barolo, Badarina, Bruna Grimaldi, Piedmont, Italy

Description

This vineyard sits between two of the region’s most expensive and desirable vineyards: Falletto and Francia. Grown between 350-450 metres above sea level, the vineyard is split into two; both halves are included in this blend, boosting its quality and tension. 24 months in botti grande gives high-toned, balsamic top notes, complementing the floral details, glassy fruit and finely-tuned tannins.

Drink 2025 - 2038

Critics reviews

James Suckling 91/100

Medium-bodied Barolo with bright strawberry and cedary spice on the nose and palate. Intense enough, but very tight on the palate now with very fine, firm tannins, so give it time to expand.
