About the wine

Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo Brunate Le Coste 2005 is a wine that combines authenticity, terroir and outstanding ageing potential. Rinaldi was one of the last great traditionalists in Barolo, and this wine is a textbook example of the classic, structured and age-worthy style he was known for. Now, almost 20 years after the harvest, the wine has matured beautifully but still retains its nerve and character. 2005 was a classic, balanced vintage in Barolo, where a relatively cool growing season created wines with high acidity, distinctive tannins and a long life ahead. The weather was stable without extreme temperatures and the slowly ripening grapes resulted in wines with great aromatic complexity and a firm structure.

🏡 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.
