Gorgeous energy and restraint despite 2009's power. Wild cherry and rose petals meld with cedar, tobacco and exotic spice. The tannins are silky yet structured, showing Rinaldi's deft touch in reining in the vintage's natural abundance. Drinking beautifully now but built for the cellar.

Giuseppe Rinaldi

Barolo purist in Barolo's most traditionalist mold. Rinaldi farms Brunate and Bussia alongside declassified Langhe bottlings, working with long macerations, large old oak, and minimal intervention.
