Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 94
"The 2021 Barolo Brunate is another compelling wine from Rinaldi. Floral overtones meld into a core of dark red and blue-toned fruits. In this tasting, the Brunate is surprisingly gentle relative to the other wines in the range. That is somewhat unexpected, but also something that works. Hints of lavender, licorice, cloves and coffee build effortlessly, framed by insistent tannins that extend the finish." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 92
"Aged in oak for three years, the Francesco Rinaldi & Figli 2021 Barolo Brunate leans into savory tones of spice and tobacco leaf with dried cherry and blackcurrant. The bouquet hints at tertiary definition with faded primary fruit. This estate farms two hectares in Brunate with limestone clay soils. It's hard to ignore the powerful 15% alcohol content in this wine." -Monica Larner

Kerin O'Keefe

WE 95
"Aromas of ripe berry, wild rose, eucalyptus and dark spice lead the nose on the bold 2021 Brunate from Francesco Rinaldi. Firmly structured and full-bodied, the intense palate delivers mature black cherry extract, cool menthol and cinnamon before an anisette finish. Drink 2030-2041." -Kerin O'Keefe
