Note di degustazione
With fruit from old, southeast-facing vines, the Poderi Luigi Einaudi 2017 Barolo Terlo Vigna Costa Grimaldi shows very nicely in this hot vintage. The positioning of the vines and the age of the deeply furrowed roots surely play a big role toward achieving the balance and pretty intensity offered here. The wine is streamlined and tight, with no loose ends, held firmly together by fresh Nebbiolo acidity and well-managed tannins. There is a lot of power built up in this Terlo fruit, but the wine also reveals austerity and sharp lines. This wine is more about structure than it is fruit, and with an ample 11,266 bottles made, you can put a few of those aside for extra cellar aging.

Barolo. Tasted blind. Mid ruby with bricky rim. A nose that is a little savoury while closed on fruit. Ripe fruit palate that lacks a little in depth and concentration. The tannins are ripe but seem bolder than they are because of the light fruit. (WS)
Vigna Costa Grimaldi lies within the Terlo MGA at the southern boundary of the Barolo commune, bordering Novello. The 2017 Barolo Terlo Vigna Costa Grimaldi leads with anise aromas, dried porcini, and red currant. There is freshness within the core of ripe fruit and ripe, angular tannins, noted by burnt orange peel, dried cherry, and tea leaf. Drink 2024-2038.
The 2017 Barolo Terlo Vigna Costa Grimaldi is a very pretty wine that shows how appealing the vintage is. Pliant and silky, with lifted floral accents, the Terlo is beautifully balanced and inviting from the very first taste. Sweet red/purplish berry fruit, rose petal, lavender, spice and mint wrap around the palate as the 2017 shows off its considerable charms.
