A release of 16,000 bottles, the Giacomo Grimaldi 2017 Barolo shows clear and steady intensity, with a fine succession of wild berry, cherry, tilled earth, truffle and grilled herb aromas. There is some extra intensity and volume on the bouquet that may speak to the heat of the vintage that resulted in very concentrated fruit. However, the wine proves quite streamlined and lean to the palate. This suggests a medium-term drinking window as a result.

A pretty red, this exhibits rose, strawberry, cherry and black tea flavors. Vibrant and elegant, with the emphasis on the fruit, backed by chalky, yet refined tannins. Combines finesse and intensity. Best from 2023 through 2040. 2,167 cases made, 500 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
