About the wine

Giuseppe Rinaldi, Barolo Brunate 2011 shows itself as round, supple and almost spherical in its structure. The wine has a complex palette of aromas and flavors that embrace the senses. Leather, smoke, menthol and tobacco interweave elegantly with the juicy, dark fruit that the Brunate vineyards are known for. This combination creates a wine with both depth and charm, providing an unusual balance for a young Barolo. The 2011 vintage highlights the characteristic breadth and creamy texture of the Brunate soils. At the same time, the vintage reveals a ripeness that adds depth and complexity to the wine’s expression. This ripeness gives the wine an almost shocking accessibility, making it an obvious choice for those who want to enjoy a Barolo without waiting many years for its full development. However, there is some excitement attached to the future of this wine. With additional time in the bottle, it can be expected that Brunate’s unique pedigree and terroir will become even more apparent, which could take the wine to new heights. For enthusiasts and collectors, it will be fascinating to follow its evolution over time.

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.
