Company Description
HISTORY
This is the story of a family deeply rooted in the Barolo region, dating back to the great-great-grandfather who, in 1930, purchased a farmhouse and vineyards in the municipality of Barolo. Since then, the commitment and passion for viticulture have been passed down through generations. Alberto, son of Ferruccio Grimaldi, brought new energy to the company when he joined in 2020.
Giacomo Grimaldi, grandson of Ernesto, continued the family’s work with the hectare of vineyard that is now the renowned Barolo cru Le Coste. A pivotal moment came in 1996, when Ferruccio started producing wine, giving a new identity to the company now named Giacomo Grimaldi.
The family expanded their vineyards in Barolo, Novello, Vezza d’Alba, and Monforte d’Alba, reaching 18 hectares today. Ferruccio and Alberto continue to grow the business with dedication, respecting the past while investing in the future of the winery and the Langhe and Roero territories.
WINES
The winery produces two white wines: Langhe Sauvignon DOC and Roero Arneis DOCG.
The Langhe Sauvignon comes from Monforte d’Alba and is a blend of 50% Sauvignon Gris and 50% Sauvignon Blanc. The wine ages partly in steel tanks and partly in large casks.
The Roero Arneis DOCG comes from Vezza d’Alba, cru Valmaggiore, and ages on lees in steel vats before bottling.
The winery also produces eight red wines:
