95.2 points CellarTracker—"a dazzling wine, easily among the very best wines of the year." This vintage showcases Rinaldi's mastery of blending two terroir expressions from the same La Morra cru. Purity and perfume to raspberry and cherry flavors with civilized, integrated tannins in an elegant frame, intense with lingering spice and tobacco notes. Same traditional approach: natural fermentation, 42 months oak, no filtration. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2038. For collectors who understand that Rinaldi allocation is precious—and worth the patience.

"I very much want my guests to experience the joy of an epic, traditionally made Barolo. What could be better than Beppe Rinaldi’s 2008 Barolo Brunate/Le Coste? An exotic bouquet of lavender, violets and rose petals lifts from the glass. The wine is utterly mesmerizing from the very first taste. Over the last few months, the 2008 has begun to shut down a little, but not enough to detract from its extraordinary beauty. Vivid and totally alive in the glass, the 2008 Barolo Brunate/Le Coste is simply dazzling. Mission accomplished." —Antonio Galloni

"Lovely attack on the palate with a wonderfully authentic undertow – broad and autumnal. But overall very ethereal and fresh. Thoroughly satisfying. This doesn't seem to have changed that much since the last time I tasted it. Bone-dry finish with very light tannins. Super-clean."

"There's purity and perfume to the raspberry and cherry flavors in this Barolo, whose tannins are civilized and integrated into the elegant frame. This is intense and lingers with spice and tobacco notes."

More about Giuseppe Rinaldi

In a region obsessed with single-vineyard expressions, Giuseppe Rinaldi remains a traditionalist purist: he blends fruit from multiple Barolo sites to capture the soul of the appellation, not the plot. Fermented with natural yeasts in his father's ancient oak tini for a month, with no temperature control, then aged in old botti for three and a half years, his Barolos are powerful, hauntingly perfumed monuments to time-honored craft.
