A sappy, structured wine with notes of raspberry, plum and a thyme-and-balsamic finish. The salty, mineral aftertaste is very ‘Serralunga’, and very moreish. Tannins are fine and well-woven through the wine, which makes the wine more approachable than many young Barolos, but this wine has everything in place to age well. Long, expressive and very enjoyable already. (NT 04/05/22)

Monica Larner
With fruit from Serralunga d`Alba, the Bruna Grimaldi 2018 Barolo Badarina opens nicely and completely, relative to its young age, within a few hours of popping the cork. The character of the wine is hearty and firm, although there is also a silkiness or smoothness that is especially associated with this vintage. You get some of those vaguely metallic aromas of rusty nail or iron ore that come with the Serralunga d`Alba territory. There is also plenty of dark fruit, licorice and wild rose. Fruit from the special Vigna Regnola site is blended into this wine in 2018 because no Riserva was produced. This is a release of 6,000 bottles. 93 points
