Barolo Terlo Costa Grimaldi 2021 Luigi Einaudi

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (95)

The Poderi Luigi Einaudi 2021 Barolo Terlo Vigna Costa Grimaldi is already silky and glossy in texture with a beautiful entry to the palate. There is a long slide of cassis and wild cherry followed by soft violet, sweet almond and licorice. Those Terlo tannins are firm but not excessively so, and the wine's texture is poised to become ever-more silky in time. Production is 5,053 bottles and some larger formats too.

James Suckling (96)

This wine is more restrained than fruity, with aromas of dried flowers, cinnamon, youthful red cherries, balsamic, earth and minerals. Full-bodied on the graceful and powerful palate, with super-polished tannins and refreshing acidity in the finish.

Jancis Robinson (17)

Grapes come from Terlo in Barolo.
Just mid ruby. At Einaudi they call it a Bussia-like nose and they are not wrong. Spicy and voluminous on the nose with chalky, minerally notes. Depth and with hints of dark fruit and raspberry. Light on the palate but, at the same time, concentrated. Finely balanced with juicy acidity and gravelly tannins that come like waves. (WS)
