About this wine
A cru Barolo DOCG from the Camilla vineyard in Grinzane Cavour, at the estate's home base in the north-east corner of the Barolo zone. Classic aromas of tar and rose lead into ripe strawberry, candied cherry, dark spice, cedar, and hints of chocolate, with medium-to-full body and beautifully rounded tannins that give an immediate, charming character alongside real aging potential.
The most immediately charming of the estate's three cru Baroli — ripe, rounded, and approachable while still classic.
Sommelier's Note
"Camilla is the estate's most 'ready to love' Barolo — tar and roses on the nose, ripe strawberry warmth on the palate, and rounded tannins that don't demand years of patience."
Food Pairings
Pairs beautifully with roasted red meats, mushroom risotto, and semi-aged cheeses.

バローロ ブリッコ・アンブロージョ
Barolo Bricco Ambrogio
RedNebbiolo
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.
バローロ バダリーナ
Barolo Badarina
RedNebbiolo
The symbolic Barolo of the Grimaldi family, from the Badarina vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba at roughly 450m elevation on white marl, limestone, clay, and sandstone. This cru captures the power and minerality typical of Serralunga terroir, showing medicinal cherry, leather, tar, black plum, roses, and dark earth, with firm, grippy tannins beneath an elegant, fresh frame. Fermented and macerated for about a month, it ages roughly 30 months in a mix of large Slavonian oak and French tonneaux before further bottle aging.
ネッビオーロ・ダルバ ボヌレイ
Nebbiolo d'Alba Bonurei
RedNebbiolo
A 100% Nebbiolo DOC from vineyards outside the Barolo zone, offering the variety's floral and spicy character with hints of ripe fruit at a more approachable price and earlier drinking window than the estate's Barolo crus.
ランゲ・アルネイス
Langhe Arneis
WhiteArneis
The estate's only white wine, made from Arneis, the indigenous white grape long farmed by the Grimaldi family alongside their red varieties. It shows aromas of white flowers and tropical fruit with a soft, creamy texture on the palate.
バルベーラ・ダルバ スペリオーレ スカッサ
Barbera d'Alba Superiore Scassa
RedBarbera
A 100% Barbera from hand-harvested grapes in Diano d'Alba and Roddi. Intense aromas of red fruit and sour cherry mingle with graphite and menthol notes, leading to a rich, concentrated, mineral, and fresh palate typical of the estate's Superiore bottling.
ドルチェット・ダルバ サン・マルティーノ
Dolcetto d'Alba San Martino
RedDolcetto
A 100% Dolcetto DOC that is extremely approachable, velvety in texture, and easy to love, with aromas of blackberry, plum, lavender, and violet. Deep purple in color, it offers pronounced fruity aromatics of red fruit, blueberry, and raspberry, dry on the palate with good structure, softness, freshness, and a finely tannic finish.
