Giacomo Grimaldi Dolcetto d'Alba

Tasting note:

Dolcetto d'Alba (from a plot near the Monforte/Dogliani border) is a great example of Dolcetto from old vines. It is a large, structured wine, with a well-defined core of fruit, and great length.

Giacomo Grimaldi

A story of generations: from the great-great-grandfather, who had bought a farm and vineyards in the municipality of Barolo in 1930, to Alberto, son of Ferruccio Grimaldi , who joined the company in 2020, and grandson of Giacomo Grimaldi , who continued his work as winemaker of his father Ernesto and lived in the part of the farm he inherited with that hectare of vineyard, which later became the company's flagship for the production of Barolo Le Coste.

Why this introduction? Simple: we believe in the concept of family that has made us grow over the decades, in the name of quality and careful work at all stages of the supply chain, from the vineyard to the cellar.

A path that built on important decisions such as that of Ferruccio Grimaldi who started producing wine in 1996, giving the company a new identity. This is how the current Giacomo Grimaldi label was born, which tells the story of the territory of Langhe and Roero, thanks to the purchase of new vineyards in the municipalities of Barolo, Novello, Vezza d'Alba and Monforte d'Alba for a total of 18 vineyards. hectares.

Ferruccio and his son Alberto continue to grow the company with their work, always paying attention to the past but with future prospects: the total takeover of the current farm projects Giacomo Grimaldi to new investments for the cellar. With respect for the concept of the family, since 1930.

A hectare of great historical value for the company and for the Barolo area. Located in the municipality of Barolo, it represents one of the first crus listed on the maps, and is the starting vineyard of Giacomo Grimaldi , who has owned a third of the total area of about three hectares since 1930. The approximately 70 year old vines live on a calcareous clay soil with sandy Sant'Agata Fossil marl, about 300 meters above sea level, and the location is in the full south. Since 2016, the grapes have been used for Barolo Le Coste Riserva, which is only produced in the best years. This vineyard marked the first harvest of 1996, the year in which Ferruccio Grimaldi transformed the company into a viticultural reality, starting to produce wine with the Giacomo Grimaldi label, dedicated to his father, respecting the concept of family
