Poderi Luigi Einaudi – Barolo Terlo Vigna Costa Grimaldi – 2013

Podere Luigi Einaudi is the historic winery founded by the first President Luigi Einaudi in the municipality of Dogliani. Despite his political activity in Rome, he never missed any harvest, and I entrust the management of his farms and vineyards to sharecroppers.
He was one of the first to focus everything on agriculture, realizing that he could lift his Piedmont home from the crisis, employing local people to manage his lands. From his death, the winery was managed by his children and grandchildren, up to today with the presence of his nephew Matteo Sardagna Einaudi. The winery has made history for having aimed high and brought the typical Dogliani blend to the world: Dolcetto!
With the new generations, farms have been bought in the Barbaresco and Barolo area to produce the renowned and austere Nebbiolo in its various forms of denomination. The style in the cellar is quite traditional, leaving room for some avant-garde techniques for cleaning and making wine, such as temperature-controlled concrete tanks.
The Barolo Terlo vineyard Costa Grimaldi comes from the Terlo cru located in the municipality of Barolo. With a south east exposure and sandy and clayey soils, this vineyard gives balanced Barolos with a beautiful texture and silky tannins. 45-year-old plants and long aging in large oak barrels for this wine … a beautiful wine to drink. Perfect to drink even now, but great evolutionary capacity.
