Terlo is a classic expression of the Barolo village, known for producing wines that are both powerful and elegant. The soil is composed of Tortonian blue-gray marl, which imparts a distinct minerality and complexity.
Expect a wine with a full body, smooth but present tannins, and an aromatic profile of licorice, earth, and floral notes that evolve into darker fruits and spices. It's a structured and age-worthy wine that beautifully represents the traditional style of the area.
Poderi Einaudi was founded in 1897 by Luigi Einaudi, who later became the first President of the Italian Republic. The estate is a champion of the Dogliani appellation and helped raise Dolcetto from an afterthought to a serious, age-worthy wine tied to the region’s identity. Today, under Matteo Sardagna Einaudi, it also makes traditionally styled Barolos from prized crus.
Cannubi, arguably Barolo’s most famous hill, is where the region’s two main soils meet — the sandier Tortonian and the heavier Serravallian marl — giving a rare balance of power and perfume, rose and red fruit on refined tannins. Bussia, one of the largest and most renowned crus of Monforte d’Alba, on clay and limestone, is the muscular one: dark fruit, tar and tobacco on a robust frame that demands patience. Terlo – Costa Grimaldi, on Tortonian blue-grey marl in the village of Barolo, is structured yet elegant, with licorice, earth and floral notes.
In the classic 2021 vintage, Einaudi’s Bussia showed the dark-fruited power of Monforte, while Cannubi captured the essence of Barolo in a single bottle.
