WINE DESCRIPTION
Giuseppe Rinaldi, a prestigious Piemontese winery, is renowned for its limited-production Barolos and highly sought-after Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto wines. Founded in 1920 by Giuseppe Rinaldi, the estate encompasses prime vineyard parcels in the region. Battista Rinaldi, Giuseppe's son, continued the family legacy, emphasizing natural viticulture and traditional winemaking. In 1992, grandson Giuseppe Rinaldi took over, maintaining the estate's stylistic direction. The winery adheres to classic winemaking methods, with extended maceration and aging in Slovenian oak barrels. Giuseppe Rinaldi believed in cuvée Barolos, but Italian regulations led to new labeling, distinguishing Barolo Brunate and Barolo Tre Tine.
