About the wine

Giuseppe Rinaldi, Barbera d’Alba 2019 DOC 2019 was a well-balanced vintage in Piedmont, where cool nights and warm days created wines with great fruit and freshness. Color: Deep ruby red with purple hues. Aroma: Intense notes of dark cherries, plums, blackberries and violets, with subtle hints of licorice, spices and a slight earthy minerality. Flavor: Lively and juicy with a nice balance between fresh acidity and ripe fruit. Notes of black cherry, red currant, spice and light herbal undertones. Soft tannins and an elegant, long finish with a subtle mineral edge. The Barbera grape has lower tannin content than Nebbiolo, making this wine more approachable in its youth, but Rinaldi’s version still has good structure and depth, making it suitable for shorter aging (5-10 years).

🏡 The producer – Giuseppe Rinaldi
Giuseppe Rinaldi, also known as “Beppe,” was one of the greatest advocates of traditional Barolo vinification. He rejected modernist techniques and stuck to classic methods such as: ✅ Long maceration (up to 40-50 days)
✅ Natural fermentation with wild yeast cells
✅ Aging in large Slavonian oak barrels (botti grandi)
✅ Minimal intervention – no filtration or clarification

Giuseppe Rinaldi – the Barolo icon from Piedmont

Giuseppe Rinaldi is one of the most legendary winemakers in Barolo, known for his uncompromising approach to traditional vinification and terroir-driven wines. His name is synonymous with classic Piedmontese wine, where long maceration, natural fermentation and aging in large old barrels are key to depth, elegance and complexity. Today, his daughter Marta Rinaldi carries on the legacy, continuing the family philosophy of producing authentic wines that defy modern trends and celebrate the finesse of the Nebbiolo grape.

 

🏡 The story behind Giuseppe Rinaldi

Giuseppe “Beppe” Rinaldi (1927-2018) was one of Barolo’s most respected and charismatic winemakers. Known for his skepticism towards modernization, his wines were a direct contrast to the more fruit-driven and barrel-driven “modern Barolos” that emerged in the 1990s. The Rinaldi family has been growing wine in Barolo since the 1890s and the winery is located in the heart of the region with parcels in some of the most prestigious cru vineyards. After Beppe Rinaldi’s death, his daughter Marta Rinaldi took over the operation and continues the family philosophy of natural vinification, long fermentation times and the use of large Slavonian oak barrels.
