A masterpiece from one of Barolo's most legendary traditional producers, this 2001 Brunate-Le Coste blends the cool, structured vineyard to deliver a wine of uncommon sophistication. Rinaldi's gentle approach and long aging in large Slavonian oak let nebbiolo's complexity unfold. Big, plush, and totally inviting, with layers of dark, balsamic-infused fruit, flowers, tobacco, and mocha that segue into firm, gripping tannins. This wine remains decidedly young and offers tremendous potential for those patient enough to lay it down.

Antonio Galloni

95 points

"The 2001 Barolo Brunate is in a good place today, as the bouquet is expressive and the tannins have begun to melt away. A brooding, somewhat rustic, and austere Barolo, the 2001 delivers plenty of Rinaldi character but with a bit more fruit and less severe tannins than vintages like 1999 and 1996. This is a gorgeous bottle." —Antonio Galloni

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.
