Bruna Grimaldi Barolo Badarina 2019 (1.5L/3) 2019

Badarina is the symbol of our family. It is the expression of the power and minerality that characterize the terroir of Serralunga d’Alba. Here, a unique microclimate and terroir require more time for the Nebbiolo to ripe. The resulting wine is a Barolo of extraordinary complexity which is distinguished by the intensity of the aromas and the great structure.

Soil: white marls with rich limestone, good presence of clays and layers of sandstone (sand cemented with limestone). Soil composition: Formazione di Lequio, circa 15 million years old. Hand harvested.

Clusters are selected carefully in the months before the harvest, each lot is picked separately. Barolo Badarina is vinified in purity. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks. Long skin contact macerations that last about 25-35 days and submerged cap management are also carried out. The malolactic fermentation occurs in stainless steel and concrete tanks. This Barolo is aged in big Slavonian oak barrels and partly in French oak tonneaux for about 24-30 months. The wine also spends time in bottle before being released.
