Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo Tre Tine 2010 Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo Tre Tine 2010.The 2010 Barolo Tre Tine is classic and austere to the core. Here, the blend of sites yields a massively tannic, old-school Barolo that is for the exceedingly patient. Dark red cherry, plum, smoke, tobacco, cedar and licorice are some of the many notes that flesh out in the glass. The 2010 is incredibly focused, with tons of Le Coste in its flavor profile, but above all else, in its structure.

Rinaldi Francesco & Figli Gavi DOCG 2012

The great traditionalist estate of Francesco Rinaldi & Figli is one of the greatest names in Piedmont. Located in the town of Barolo itself, the domaine of Francesco Rinaldi has a long and illustrious history in the region. It was founded in 1870, when Francesco Rinaldi inherited a vineyard and house in Barolo, inducing him to leave behind his work with the very large Mirafiore estate and set out on his own. His family at that time also had ties to the then greatest estate in the Barolo region, Barale-Rinaldi. Francesco was the cousin of Giuseppe Rinaldi, and together these two superb family wineries have marched down through time side by side, both upholding the unique, traditional style of Barolo

Rinaldi Francesco & Figli Barolo Brunate DOCG 2010 Rinaldi Francesco & Figli Barolo Brunate DOCG It is great to see a continued focus on quality at this historic family-run estate. Antonio Galloni, The Wine Advocate, Oct 2012.The 2010 Barolo Le Brunate is the most dynamic and textured of these wines. Dark cherry, plum, smoke and violet notes flesh out in a firm, muscular Barolo endowed with tons of classic Brunate nuance. The flavors are intense, dark and bold. Balsamic overtones develop in the glass, adding further shades of nuance and complexity.

Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo Brunate Le Coste 2009

Dark cherries, plums, cloves, violets, incense, orange rind and tobacco meld together in the 2009 Barolo Brunate-Le Coste. A massive, powerful Barolo, the 2009 boasts stunning depth, power and richness, all in a relatively open style for this estate. I imagine the 2009 will drink well relatively early for top-flight Barolo, but it has fabulous class and intensity” 96 points Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo Brunate La Coste 2006

Brunate component: Medium red. Mocha, brown spices, tobacco and cocoa powder on the nose, with suggestions of superripeness. Sweet, lush and deep, with decadent flavors of plum, tobacco, brown spices and earth. Finishes long and sweet, with substantial broad, ripe tannins. From a barrel of pure Le Coste: Bright, deep red. Rather Burgundian aromas of mocha, smoke and earth, with good mineral lift. Sexy and sweet in the mouth, with lovely energy to the flavors of dark raspberry, spices, minerals and red licorice.

Rinaldi Francesco & Figli Barolo Brunate DOCG 2012 A dark, muscular wine, the 2012 Barolo Le Brunate hits the palate with waves of fruit, tannin and acidity. The 2012 is going to need at least a few years to settle down post bottling, as the elements are still a bit disjointed. Still, the wine's power and overall intensity are both commendable. Suggestions of rose petal, cedar, iron, mint and smoke shape the finish. Today, the 2012 is austere and unyielding. Readers need to be in it for the long haul. “Francesco Rinaldi is a bastion of traditional, extremely well made Barolo…” Ian D’Agata, Decanter Italy Issue, Jan 2012“ 92+ points Antonio Galloni Vinous
