About the wine

Giuseppe Rinaldi, Barbera d´Alba 2023 DOCG

Barbera d’Alba 2023 appears with a vibrant ruby red color. The nose reveals aromas of violets and undergrowth, giving a complex and inviting scent. In the mouth, the wine is fresh with vibrant acidity, supported by pleasant tannins. The finish is slightly bitter, adding depth and character to the wine. Barbera is one of the most widely planted grape varieties in Piedmont and is known for its high acidity and deep color. It produces wines that range from light and fruity to more complex and structured, depending on vinification methods and terroir.

Vinification:

Giuseppe Rinaldi’s approach to winemaking is characterized by minimal intervention and a deep respect for nature. Barbera d’Alba 2023 undergoes a traditional fermentation, followed by aging in large Slavonian oak barrels. This method preserves the grape’s natural freshness and brings out its distinctive flavor profile.

Giuseppe Rinaldi strongly represents traditional views on winemaking that have brought the winery into conflict with the Barolo consortium. Most significantly, the estate has always maintained that the best wines from Barolo have always been blends from multiple sites rather than the currently fashionable single-vineyard expression. Rinaldi’s most prominent wines were blends from Brunate and Le Coste, and the Cannubi and Ravera vineyards respectively and were labeled as such. However, Italian law passed in 2009 restricted that at least 85 percent of the fruit had to come from the named vineyard. Giuseppe Rinaldi opposed the changes. As a result of the law, Rinaldi is now making two new wines from the 2010 vintage: Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo Brunate, which uses the maximum 15% fruit from the Le Coste vineyard, and Tre Tine, a blend of grapes from Le Coste, Cannubi and Ravera. Rinaldi has avoided ‘new world’ trends such as the use of French barriques and shorter fermentation times. As a result, the wines require significant cellaring to mature their high tannins.
