About Grimaldi:

Grimaldi Barolo Sorano: A Hidden Jewel of the Langhe

The Grimaldi Barolo Sorano represents the kind of estate we’re always on the hunt for at Italian Wine Merchants: respectfully traditional, fiercely dedicated, and deeply rooted in place. This is not a mass-market name, nor a flashy label — Grimaldi is a family winery in the truest sense, and their work in the historic Serralunga D’lba of Le Langhe at the Sorano cru deserves your attention.

The Barolo Sorano is a remarkable expression of Nebbiolo grown on steep, calcareous soils that lend structure, tension, and purity. Sorano, though lesser-known than sites like Cannubi or Brunate, offers a singular voice: the wines here are lifted, perfumed, and finely etched, with a balance of elegance and power.

Grimaldi’s winemaking as it has been — long macerations, patient aging in mostly large Slovenian oak, and minimal intervention. The result is a wine that doesn’t shout — it speaks with grace. Aromas of rose, dried cherry, and sweet herbs lead to a palate of precision and persistence. Tannins are fine but firm, the finish long and resonant. This is real Barolo — soulful, age-worthy, and deeply satisfying.

At IWM, we seek producers who embody authenticity — and the Grimaldi family does exactly that. Their Barolo Sorano is a perfect addition to any serious Piedmont collection, and a profound introduction for those just beginning to explore the region’s complexities.

For collectors and connoisseurs alike, Grimaldi’s Barolo Sorano offers something rare: a wine of integrity, from a cru of distinction, made by people who believe in beauty over fashion and at a price on this offer which is a steal!

Why Buy This Wine:

Single-Cru Expression: Sorano

• Sourced exclusively from the Sorano cru Barolo that’s structured yet refined, with a balance of power and elegance that mirrors more famous crus—without the price tag.
• An excellent way to explore Barolo’s terroir diversity without breaking the bank.
• While it will cellar beautifully for 15–20+ years, the 2019 is also surprisingly drinkable young with decanting.
• Grimaldi is not a corporate winery. This is a family-run estate, with hands-on vineyard work and thoughtful, small-scale production.
• With limited production and growing critical acclaim, this bottling is still under the radar — but that won’t last. Smart buyers know to stock up before prices catch up to the quality.
