The Giuseppe Rinaldi 2014 Barolo Brunate is a darkly saturated expression with important textural richness and lasting dark fruit flavors. Marta Rinaldi tells me that she lost up to 40% of her Brunate fruit in 2014 because of a violent hail storm. That natural yield reduction has done much to increase the power and concentration of this lovely Barolo. Blackberry, sour cherry and wild plum segue to grilled herb and citrusy orange peel.
Barolo. A shade deeper than the Tre Tine, but still quite light. Crystal-clear raspberry on the nose and hints of stones. Linear acidity on the palate followed by slowly unfurling, transparent raspberry fruit. Long, fragrant and lithe with long, fine tannins. Drink between 2018-2026.
