-
WINEMAKER: Bruna Grimaldi
-
FARMING: Sustainable practices, with minimal use of chemical treatments; commitment to preserving biodiversity in the vineyards
-
VARIETY: 100% Nebbiolo
-
TERROIR: Sourced from the prestigious Barolo DOCG, with the 'Camilla' vineyard located in the commune of Serralunga d'Alba. The area is known for its calcareous marl soils, which contribute to the wine's structure and aging potential, alongside the region's optimal altitude and microclimate that allow Nebbiolo to reach full expression.
-
VINIFICATION: The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo fermentation with native yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Maceration is extended to extract color and tannins, followed by a long aging period.
-
AGING: Aged for 24 months in a combination of French oak barrels (20% new) and large Slavonian oak casks to impart subtle oak influences while allowing the wine to develop its complex bouquet.
-
TASTING NOTES: The 2020 'Camilla' Barolo offers aromas of dark cherry, rose petals, and earthy undertones with hints of tobacco and spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied with structured tannins, vibrant acidity, and layers of ripe fruit, licorice, and dried herbs. The finish is long, with an elegant minerality that reflects the terroir of Barolo.
-
FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal with classic Piedmontese dishes such as brasato al Barolo (beef braised in Barolo wine), truffle risotto, or mature cheeses like Castelmagno or Parmigiano Reggiano.
