Grimaldi Barolo
Two Piedmont reds from Grimaldi, stocked small in Commack.
The story behind Grimaldi
Barolo is the great red of Italy's Piedmont, made from Nebbiolo and grown on the rolling hills around the town of Barolo. The wines are pale in color but firm in tannin and high in acid, with aromas of rose, tar, dried cherry and earth that deepen with age. Nebbiolo d'Alba is the friendlier cousin, same grape, softer frame, ready sooner.
We keep Grimaldi in small quantity at our Commack shop, one to two bottles at a time, so what you see is what we have.
