Description
From the south-east corner of Serralunga, this vineyard came to the domaine from Bruna’s mother’s side in 1999. This is their last plot to harvest, on 10 October in 2020, with the highest section being at 450m. The blood orange note is particularly accentuated this year, but behind there are marvellous floral notes, of Alpine saxifrage and, of course rose. There is still the Serralunga sense of rigour, but Simone’s lightness of touch ensures this is more about detail than power.
Drink 2028 – 2050

Critics reviews
The 2020 Badarina from Bruna Grimaldi is fragrant and refined, starting with its lovely aromas of ripe berry, dark spice, camphor and perfumed blue flower. Smooth and already approachable, the full-bodied, elegant palate offers juicy raspberry, blood orange and licorice accompanied by taut, polished tannins.
