Francesco Rinaldi Langhe Nebbiolo 2023
A fresh, expressive take on Nebbiolo from the historic Francesco Rinaldi & Figli estate in Barolo, a family producer with deep roots in Piedmont and a reputation for traditional, terroir-driven winemaking. Sourced from estate vineyards in the Langhe, including younger vines and select parcels that showcase the variety's versatility, the wine is vinified with classic methods designed to preserve purity and varietal character. The 2023 vintage opens with bright aromas of red cherry, rose petal, and subtle spice, revealing the aromatic complexity Nebbiolo is prized for. On the palate, lively acidity and gently structured tannins create a wine that is elegant and approachable, making it an ideal introduction to the variety without sacrificing the depth and refinement expected of Barolo's prestigious terroir. This is a Nebbiolo that drinks beautifully in its youth, offering immediate pleasure and freshness, while retaining sufficient structure and character to reward careful cellaring as it develops further complexity and integration over time.
