The Sotto Castello di Novello Barolo DOCG 2021 by Giacomo Grimaldi displays the typical Nebbiolo character interpreted with restraint: aromas that range from ripe red fruit and faded rose to light mineral and earthy nuances. There is also a slightly toasted spicy thread that accompanies the bouquet without weighing it down. The profile is vertical, supported by good freshness and a structure that never loses its balance. The texture is fine and the progressive aromatic release invites another sip.

On the palate the wine is clear and taut; the tannin is present but compact, still young and ready to relax with a few years in bottle, while the salinity contributes to its drinkability and persistence. It is a Barolo well suited both to pair with savory red meats and long-cooked dishes, and with aged cheeses; an excellent choice for those seeking a wine of character to cellar or to enjoy at the table. Perfect to discover now but with a clear aptitude for aging. Serve at around 16-18 °C.

In subsequent years the family acquired vineyards in the municipalities of Barolo, Novello, Vezza d’Alba and Monforte d’Alba, bringing the total estate to 18 hectares, according to the company. Management has remained family-run, with the new generation now involved.
