A single-vineyard Barolo DOCG from a prized plot in the Bricco Ambrogio cru in Roddi, purchased by the Grimaldi family in 2006 and first vinified separately in 2007. The site's excellent sun exposure and warm microclimate give a Barolo of great elegance, with warm, open aromas of ripe fruit and spice, and a structured palate built on silky, approachable tannins.
Bricco Ambrogio is Bruna Grimaldi's warmest, most fruit-forward Barolo cru — the ideal bottle for anyone who thinks Barolo is too austere to love.
New to wine?
An approachable, sun-kissed Barolo — riper and rounder than a typical bottling from the appellation.
Food Pairings
Excellent with braised beef, roasted game, and aged Piedmontese cheeses such as Castelmagno.
When to drink it
Special dinners, celebratory meals with red meat or game
Terroir & Winemaking
100% Nebbiolo from the Bricco Ambrogio cru in Roddi. Traditional long maceration and fermentation, followed by aging in a combination of large Slavonian oak casks and French oak, per the estate's classic Barolo methodology.

- What makes Barolo Bricco Ambrogio different from Bruna Grimaldi's other Barolo crus?
- It comes from a warmer, sunnier plot in Roddi, giving riper fruit character and silkier tannins compared to the more mineral-driven Badarina from Serralunga d'Alba.
- How long can Barolo Bricco Ambrogio be aged?
- Like most cru Barolo, it can develop well for 10-15+ years from vintage, though its approachable tannins also make it enjoyable relatively young.
- What food pairs best with this wine?
- Rich braised or roasted meats and aged hard cheeses are classic pairings, as the wine's tannin and acidity cut through fat while its ripe fruit echoes slow-cooked flavors.
