Barolo «Camilla» from Bruna Grimaldi is a classic and elegant Barolo with great drinkability and a clear Piedmontese identity. The wine is composed of Nebbiolo grapes from several carefully selected vineyards with similar soil and vine age, resulting in a harmonious and balanced style where floral and spicy aromas dominate. Camilla often presents a generous bouquet of roses and red berries, followed by spices and a mineral, slightly balsamic undertone.
On the palate, Camilla shows fine structure: medium to full-bodied, with silky yet firm tannins and a long, precise finish. The flavor profile moves between dried cherries, red currants, blueberry notes, and an elegant floral character (roses/lavender), complemented by spices such as licorice, cinnamon, and clove, ending with a dry, salty-mineral finish. This is a Barolo that can be enjoyed young for its energy and finesse, but it also benefits greatly from several years of cellar aging.
Producer Bruna Grimaldi is a family-owned winery in the heart of the Barolo area, deeply rooted in traditional methods while embracing careful modern winemaking. The name «Camilla» has historical roots, referring to an old farmhouse/vineyard once known locally as “la Camila.” The wine is crafted as a classic Barolo expression, blending grapes from several parcels. In the cellar, fermentation is temperature-controlled with long skin maceration, followed by malolactic fermentation in steel and cement tanks. The wine is then aged for 24–30 months in large Slavonian oak casks and French tonneaux (without new oak), and finished with bottle aging before release.
Camilla pairs beautifully with rich Italian cuisine – slow-cooked beef or game, pasta dishes with mushrooms, robust cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano or aged Pecorino, and truffle-based dishes. For aging, 5–12 years is recommended for full development, though it can also be enjoyed young for its lively fruit expression.
In summary, Bruna Grimaldi Barolo «Camilla» is a well-balanced, terroir-driven Barolo that combines classic structure with appealing floral fruit – a reliable choice for those seeking a representative and cellar-worthy Barolo.
