From the lesser-known but special Terlo terroir, this 2021 shows silky, glossy texture with a beautiful palate entry of cassis and wild cherry, followed by soft violet, sweet almond, and licorice. The nose opens with ripe red fruits, cherries, plums, dried flowers, tobacco, spice, and mineral touches. Precise and long, with impressive critical acclaim.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2021 Barolo Terlo Vigna Costa Grimaldi is lifted and aromatic, with a good bit of the mineral nervosity that defines wines from this site. Chalk, mint, white pepper, iron and dried herbs lend notable complexity throughout. This is a decidedly taut, youthfully austere Barolo." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

"The Poderi Luigi Einaudi 2021 Barolo Terlo Vigna Costa Grimaldi is already silky and glossy in texture with a beautiful entry to the palate. There is a long slide of cassis and wild cherry followed by soft violet, sweet almond and licorice. Those Terlo tannins are firm but not excessively so, and the wine's texture is poised to become ever-more silky in time. Production is 5,053 bottles and some larger formats too." —Monica Larner

Wine Spectator

95 points

"Rich and fleshy, this red boasts cherry, strawberry, earth and eucalyptus aromas and flavors. There's density but also vibrant acidity driving the lingering conclusion. Shows fine overall balance, with refined tannins. Best from 2029 through 2048."

Kerin O'Keefe

"Blue flower, truffle, menthol, rhubarb and cedar aromas slowly take shape on the 2021 Terlo Vigna Costa Grimaldi. It’s full-bodied and polished, featuring ripe cherry, cranberry, star anise and blood orange accompanied by taut, fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it well balanced. Drink 2028–2036." —Kerin O'Keefe

More about Luigi Einaudi

Founded by Italy's future president in 1897, Luigi Einaudi makes Barolo from the Costa Grimaldi vineyard at Terlo—a southeast-facing, calcareous-marl site with reserved nose, full-bodied attack, and silky tannins that evolve for decades. This is Piedmont's aristocracy.
