A classic, traditionally made Barolo from the historic family estate Francesco Rinaldi & Figli, founded in the late 19th century and long respected for its uncompromising approach to Nebbiolo. Sourced from vineyards across Barolo, La Morra and Castiglione Falletto, the wine is fermented with extended skin contact and aged in large Slavonian oak casks, preserving purity and structure. The 2018 vintage shows notes of red cherry, dried flowers and savoury spice, with firm yet balanced tannins, bright acidity and a long, composed finish. This wine exemplifies the estate's commitment to minimal intervention winemaking, allowing the terroir of the Langhe region to express itself authentically. The use of large-format oak, rather than small barrels, ensures the wine develops complexity without excessive oak influence, a hallmark of serious Barolo producers. The 2018 demonstrates both immediate approachability and remarkable cellaring potential, making it equally suited to enjoying now or laying down for a decade or more. A refined choice for collectors and those seeking a benchmark expression of Piedmont's most prestigious appellation.
