About the wine

2010 is widely recognized as one of the greatest Barolo vintages in recent times. The growing season was cool and long, resulting in wines with intense aromatic complexity, perfectly ripened tannins and a fine balance between fruit and acidity.

This vintage has a classic style and enormous ageing potential – the best bottles can develop beautifully over 30-40 years.

After 14 years of aging, Barolo Brunate 2010 has developed an impressive complexity, but still has a vibrant structure and aging potential.

Color: Deep red with incipient orange nuances at the edge.
Aroma: Intense and complex with notes of dried roses, dark cherries, leather, truffle and licorice. Secondary aromas of tobacco, forest floor and spices emerge.
Taste: Firm structure with ripe tannins, vibrant acidity and depth. Notes of red berries, tar, forest floor, dried herbs and mineral elements. The finish is long and elegant with a touch of violets and earthy nuances.
This wine is still youthful and can evolve for decades.

🏡 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 upheld 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 business and continues the family philosophy of natural vinification, long fermentation times and the use of large Slavonian oak barrels.

 

🍇 Vinstil and Vinifikation

Giuseppe Rinaldi wines are created with a deep respect for terroir and tradition. They are known for their tight structure, intense acidity and a finesse that only improves with ageing.

Vinification philosophy:
✅ Natural fermentation with wild yeast cells
✅ Long maceration (up to 40-50 days for Barolo)
✅ No small barriques – only large, used Slavonian barrels
✅ Minimal intervention – no filtration or clarification

This results in wines that require time but reward patience with amazing complexity and elegance.
