Varietal

Nebbiolo

The Nebbiolo grape varietal is widely understood to be the fruit responsible for Italy's finest aged wines. However, its popularity and reliability as a grape which gives out outstanding flavors and aromas has led it to be planted in many countries around the world, with much success. These purple grapes are distinguishable by the fact that they take on a milky dust as they begin to reach maturity, leading many to claim that this is the reason for their unusual name, which means 'fog' in Italian. Nebbiolo grapes produce wines which have a wide range of beautiful and fascinating flavors, the most common of which are rich, dark and complex, such as violet, truffle, tobacco and prunes. They are generally aged for many years to balance out their characteristics, as their natural tannin levels tend to be very high.

Country

Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region

Piedmont

Situated in the north-western part of Italy, the region of Piedmont is known worldwide and is highly respected for the quality of the wines produced there. Many of the most successful sub-regions in Piedmont produce many of the world's finest red wines, such as those made from the excellent Nebbiolo grape varietal in areas such as Barolo and Barbaresco. However, the historic wineries which typify this region use a relatively wide variety of grapes, including Dolcetto and Barbera for their red wines, which are typically aged and have a delightful velvety character. Piedmont isn't all about beautifully complex red wines, though, as it is also famed for high quality, elegant sparkling wines, notably the Asti wines made with the white Moscato grape. The region benefits from a range of terroirs which are often well expressed in the sparkling wines, and a wonderfully consistent climate ideal for vineyard cultivation.

Appellation

Barolo

Barolo’s star grape is Nebbiolo, a finicky yet expressive variety that reaches its zenith this unique terroir. The region’s distinct microclimates and soils contribute to Nebbiolo’s complexity, resulting in wines with robust tannins, high acidity, and exceptional aging potential. Barolo wines, often referred to as “the king of wines,” are characterized by their deep garnet hue and complex bouquet, offering aromas of roses, tar, truffles, and red fruit. The aging process is significant, requiring at least 38 months, with a minimum of 18 months spent in wooden casks. This meticulous craftsmanship results in wines that evolve beautifully over time, displaying a harmonious balance of power and finesse. For wine enthusiasts, exploring Barolo provides a captivating journey into the rich tapestry of Italian winemaking, showcasing the profound marriage of tradition, terroir, and Nebbiolo’s distinctive expression.

A blend of vineyards from Grinzane, La Morra, San Lorenzo di Verduno, Bricco Ambrogio, and Badarina, the 2022 Barolo Camilla pours a transparent ruby hue. Aromatically, it’s expressive and spicy, with peppercorn, anise, red and black berries, and wildflowers. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and approachable, with even tannins, balanced acidity, and delicate sanguine undertones. This is a highly appealing Barolo that comes together easily. 28,000 bottles were produced. Drink 2026-2036.

Wine Advocate

Drawn from the Borzone, Raviole, Roere di Santa Maria, San Lorenzo di Verduno, Bricco Ambrogio and Badarina MGAs, the Bruna Grimaldi 2022 Barolo Camilla offers a broad portrait of Nebbiolo through the lens of several important Barolo sites. The wine is balanced with medium intensity and classic aromas of cassis, blue flower and licorice. Fermented in steel and cement, with 24 days of maceration before aging for 24 months in large oak casks and six months in cement, it emphasizes purity and simplicity over extraction. The alcohol reaches 15%, but the finish remains lean, direct and easy to approach. This is the estate's most all-encompassing expression of Barolo. Production is 30,000 bottles.

Decanter

Located in Grinzane Cavour, the Bruna Grimaldi estate has amassed 14 hectares across five of Barolo’s villages. An ensemble of these various sites, Camilla offers a candid reflection of the vintage. It is streamlined and direct rather than profound, but admirably genuine for that. Vanilla, pressed rose and cardamom flit and flirt on the nose. Elegantly constructed, it builds in red berry intensity, while accents of cumin lead to a peppery snap on the finish. Fine-grained tannins shape and grip, and while a touch of heat pokes through, this remains harmonious overall.

Winery Notes

Floral aroma with hints of spice. Gentle palate with fine tannins that balance well with the typical varietal structure. Enjoy in its youth for varietal energy or age for a few years for an elegant structure.
