Bussia is Barolo with its shoulders back. Monforte d'Alba's most storied hillside makes Nebbiolo built on muscle — darker fruit, deeper tannin, a longer runway — and in Rinaldi's hands that power gets handled the old way: native ferments, long macerations, and aging in large old Slavonian casks, with nothing new-oaky anywhere in the picture. Expect black cherry and dried herbs, licorice, iron and crushed rock, wrapped in tannins that mean business. The 2021 season was classic and cool-edged in Piedmont, so there's lift and precision here alongside the weight. This is a cellar wine, plain and simple. If you can't wait, decant it early and pour it next to something braised.

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.
