About the wine

Giuseppe Rinaldi, Barbera d´Alba 2021 DOCG. This Barbera is elegant, pristine and bright. Red cherries, a touch of leather and spice with a slight oak note. Supple, fluid and in full balance. It’s a Northern Italian staple in the hands of one of the finest wineries in the world, Marta and Carlotta, who truly define the variety with balance and precision.

In Barolo and Novello, Giuseppe Rinaldi has just over 6 hectares of vineyards, 3.8 of which are planted with Nebbiolo.

It is a very pleasant wine on the nose, releasing notes of dried violet and undergrowth, in the mouth it is straight with a slightly bitter finish, Giuseppe Rinaldi’s Barbera 2022 goes very well with lamb and cheeses as well as salted meat.

Vinification:

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.
