Francesco Rinaldi is a traditional Barolo house—separate from and unrelated to Giuseppe Rinaldi—making wines of elegance, power, and complexity. The Brunate cru, recognized as one of Barolo's most important, plays host to limestone-clay soils with a sandy component that gives the wine its signature character. The 2006 shows dark, mysterious fruit balanced by balsamic notes of spice and menthol that develop in the glass. Exotic spice, black fruit, and a bright, lively palate—a wine built for hearty food. Magnum format for generous cellaring.

"The 2006 Barolo Le Brunate is the alter-ego to the Cannubbio. Here the fruit is dark, mysterious and totally captivating, with balsamic notes of spice and menthol that develop in the glass. There is wonderful depth and clarity in the glass, not to mention considerable heft, but all within the context of traditionally-made Barolo. The finish is long, pure and austere in the best of senses. Once again, the combination of traditional winemaking with a contemporary approach to the vineyard management and cellar cleanliness has yielded a wine of exceptional purity. Readers who enjoy firm, ageworthy wines will want to put this high on their shopping lists." -Antonio Galloni

"The Brunate cru, with denser soils, is known for meatier, more structured wines. This Barolo offers elegance, power and complexity with lingering aromas of exotic spice, black fruit and root beer. It's also exceptionally bright and lively in the mouth and would pair with a hearty wintery dish such as beef Bourguignon."
