A magnum of one of Beppe Rinaldi's first vintages running the family estate, made the year after his legendary father Battista's death in 1992. 1993 was a cool, lighter vintage in Piedmont, and this Brunata bottling (an older spelling of the Brunate cru) is a classic example of how Rinaldi's traditionalist hand produced wines of lift and detail even in difficult years. The 1993 was in fact Beppe's first vintage labeled Brunate-Le Coste (a blend of approximately 60% Brunate and 40% Le Coste); under Battista the Brunate fruit had been bottled as a separate Selezione in the best years rather than as a Brunate/Le Coste blend. Thirty-two years on and in magnum format, this is fully mature cult Rinaldi from the dawn of the Beppe era.

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.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Brasato di guancia, tajarin with rabbit ragu, roasted quail with sage, or Robiola di Roccaverano with truffled honey. A lifted, savory Rinaldi calls for the same on the plate.

Tasting Profile

Cool-vintage maturity: dried rose, red cherry, blood orange peel, tar, tobacco, underbrush and a fine mineral lift. Tannins fully integrated; the magnum keeps the perfume bright and the finish long.
