REFINEMENT

Pure Arneis grown in the vineyards near the Barolo area on marly and clayey soil. The harvest is carried out manually in the first ten days of September. After soft pressing of the grapes, fermentation takes place at low temperatures to preserve the organoleptic characteristics of the grapes. It follows refinement with bâtonnage on the lees for a couple of months before being bottled.

TERRITORY OF ORIGIN

TERROR

The company is located in Serralunga d'Alba, in the heart of the Langhe, heritage UNESCO since 2014. It is a land of ancient winemaking traditions, where wine was already known before the arrival of the Romans. The Empire made great contributions to viticulture, including the deforestation of much of the Langhe, then covered in dense forest. The Langhe is divided into Upper and Lower Langa: the latter is located to the north between the Tanaro and Belbo rivers and is recognized throughout the world for prestigious wines such as Barolo and Barbaresco as well as Pelaverga, Dolcetto d'Alba and Dogliani to Nebbiolo and Barbera. The Alta Langa, on the other hand, is located further south and has steeper hills that reach up to 750 m; Alta Langa, Moscato and Barbera and the rare Timorasso are produced here. In particular, the Alta Langa, thanks to the cultivation of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir over the years, has managed to produce classic method and Charmat sparkling wines renowned on the national and international scene. The lands of the Langhe are composed of marl clayey-limestone sedimentary, interspersed with layers of more or less important gray-blue marl, an important characteristic for producing both full-bodied red wines and fresh, fragrant bubbles. The Langhe area is characterized by a temperate continental climate, with the peak of rainfall generally set during the month of May.

CELLAR

In 1957 Giacomo Grimaldi began selling grapes and Giovanni Grimaldi, in the 1960s, moved on to producing wine and selling it in bulk. And Giovanni himself built the cornerstones of the family and the company: he was very attentive to viticulture, in respect of the vineyard and wine; it already bottled the best vintages, thus creating an important "history", and valorised the vineyard and the grapes.
In 1990 a new phase began: Bruna Grimaldi and her husband Franco Fiorino brought enthusiasm and new knowledge to the company. Vineyards are purchased in targeted areas to be able to produce wines only from proprietary grapes. The new cellar is built, the work is perfected and Bruna Grimaldi wines begin to be offered on new markets.
For all red wines, vinification is traditional: time is the determining factor that allows the precious compounds contained in the skins to be extracted in a slow And gentle , without forcing. It is vinified in stainless steel and then in concrete, controlling the temperatures during the different phases and tasting the must/wine daily.
The Nebbiolo grapes destined to produce the different Barolos are subjected to long macerations with the skins, and often " submerged cap ", an ancient technique, very important for defining the complexity and structure of a wine destined for long aging. The wines remain in the winemaking room until the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation processes are completed.
The company identifies itself with "an ethical approach" to the vineyard, in full respect from the nature , with viticulture sustainable , reasoned methods to bring good, balanced wines to the market that respect the environment and the consumer.

Approximately 70,000 bottles are produced per year.
