The Bruna Grimaldi 2021 Barolo Bricco Ambrogio reveals a bouquet that is initially timid and takes a little extra time to find focus. Once it does, it delivers cassis, dark currant and spice. It has crushed rose and licorice, but your attention is drawn to mostly red and blue fruits. There is a hint of tea leaf or tobacco that gives the wine a slightly savory side. This MGA is located in Roddi at 270 meters in elevation with southeast and southern exposures. Production is 5,013 bottles. 93 points
