Bruna Grimaldi Barolo Camilla 2021 is a wonderfully expressive introduction to the elegance and purity of Barolo from one of the region’s most meticulous, quietly brilliant producers. Sourced from a selection of high-quality Nebbiolo parcels across La Morra and Barolo, Camilla showcases the finesse and lifted aromatics typical of these communes. The 2021 vintage produced wines of superb clarity and definition, and this bottling opens with fragrant notes of rose petal, cherry, raspberry and sweet spice, layered with hints of anise, crushed herbs and gentle mineral undertones. On the palate, it is vibrant yet beautifully composed, with silky tannins and a long, graceful finish.

This is a Barolo that balances sophistication with approachability, offering early pleasure without compromising depth or age-worthy structure. It’s an excellent choice for those discovering the category as well as seasoned Nebbiolo fans seeking precision and poise. Over the next 8–12 years, Camilla will continue to develop complexity, gaining savoury nuances while retaining its elegant fruit profile. Whether served at a festive dinner or enjoyed as a contemplative bottle among friends, Bruna Grimaldi’s Barolo Camilla 2021 captures the essence of modern, classically inspired Barolo.

Bruna Grimaldi is a family-run Barolo estate that has steadily earned a reputation for precision, authenticity and exceptional value in a region dominated by historic names. Based in the village of Grinzane Cavour, the winery is led today by Bruna and her husband Franco, with the next generation—Simona and Martina—bringing fresh energy and meticulous attention to detail. Their philosophy centres on sustainable vineyard work, low intervention in the cellar and a deep respect for Nebbiolo’s expressive, site-driven character. Each vineyard parcel is vinified separately, allowing its individual voice to shine before blending or bottling as a cru Barolo.

What sets the Grimaldi family apart is their commitment to purity and transparency of fruit, achieved through careful selection, gentle extraction and thoughtful maturation in large Slavonian oak casks. Their wines are known for combining aromatic lift, fine tannin structure and a modern sense of elegance, without abandoning the traditional soul of Barolo. As a producer, Bruna Grimaldi represents the vanguard of a new generation in the Langhe—crafting wines that are accessible, refined and consistently overdeliver in quality across the range.

Nebbiolo (100%)

Nebbiolo is one of Italy’s most noble grape varieties, best known as the backbone of Barolo and Barbaresco in Piedmont. Renowned for its pale garnet colour yet remarkable depth, it produces wines of striking aromatic complexity, often showing notes of rose, violet, red cherry, tar, and earthy spice. On the palate, Nebbiolo is distinguished by firm tannins and bright acidity, giving it exceptional ageing potential. Though challenging to grow, requiring the right soils and exposures, Nebbiolo rewards patience and craftsmanship with wines that balance elegance, power, and longevity.
