The Grimaldi family has owned 11 hectares of vines in some of Piedmont’s most sought-after communes for over 60 years, but they’ve only been bottling their own wines for 2 decades.

Like so many Piemontese winemaking families, they sold off their fruit in bulk and produced a couple of barrels for family consumption; that is, until Bruna Grimaldi took over the estate established by her grandfather so many years before. She has embraced a mélange of winemaking techniques; some are modern, like fermenting in stainless steel, and others are classic Piedmont, like aging the finished wine in big, neutral barrels. This blending of new and old yields wines that are open and fine, with delicate aromas, generous fruit but held together by a distinct sense of place and terroir.
