The Bricco Ambrogio is a single cru wine, found in the Roddi commune in the north of Barolo, which was purchased by Bruna and Franco in 2006. The parcel is narrow and long, with its own warm but shaded microclimate. Here, grapes can develop healthy skin and aromatics without suffering from sunburn. Such a balanced vineyard has unsurprisingly produced a wonderfully harmonious wine, with soft generous fruit on the nose and an unmistakable brightness to the palate – this just feels like sunshine.
There is so much detail and complexity on the finish, and still a serious grip from perfectly ripened tannins. Even more seductive than the 2016 was at this stage, this wine has all the hallmark characteristics of the quality we can expect from 2019s.

Critics reviews
Antonio Galloni 91/100
The 2019 Barolo Bricco Ambrogio is the most nuanced of these three wines from Bruna Grimaldi. It offers plenty of impact and overt richness, but also quite a bit of aromatic nuance to balance things out. Give the tannins a bit of time to soften.

Aldo Fiordelli 92/100
A very classic estate at ease with an austere vintage such as 2019. This Bricco Ambrogio is dark ruby in colour and dark in aroma, ranging from black cherry to wild berries, with a soapy rosewater scent surrounded by spice. The palate shows a relatively light frame with soft acidity at first, then vibrant and juicy with chewy tannins. There is some stickiness due to its youth but the finish is very polished.

Monica Larner 93/100
The Bruna Grimaldi 2019 Barolo Bricco Ambrogio with 4,500 bottles made) boasts a very vibrant and lively garnet colour that is slightly on the darker side of your standard Nebbiolo. This cru site in Roddi tends to make accessible Barolos, and you could say the same for this edition. The wild card, however, is the excellent 2019 vintage, which gives this wine more abundant fruit density and structure. Generally speaking, you get a bigger bolder wine this year.
