Tre Tine is a harmonious blend from three historic Barolo crus—Cannubi San Lorenzo, Ravera, and Le Coste—a formal expression of Giuseppe Rinaldi's commitment to method and terroir. The 2012 is lifted and gracious, distinguished by a delicate, feminine character more aromatic than Rinaldi's Brunate but equally precise: bright red fruit, floral notes, white pepper, and licorice anchored by refined, firm tannins. This wine possesses an energy and proportion that speaks to careful blending and old-vine maturity.

"The 2012 Barolo Tre Tine is lifted, precise and gracious, with beams of firm supporting tannin that give the wine its energy and sense of proportion. Tasted next to the Brunate, the Tre Tine is distinctly more aromatic, delicate and feminine in style, with plenty of bright red fruit and floral overtones. I also tasted the 2012 from a bottle opened two days prior, and the wine had retained pretty much all of its precision. Although the Brunate is the most coveted wine at Rinaldi, the Tre Tine has been impressive in its first three vintages. The 2012 is no exception. Tre Tine is a blend of fruit from the Rinaldi family's holdings in Cannubi (San Lorenzo), Ravera and Le Coste." —Antonio Galloni

"Formally known as Barolo Cannubi S. Lorenzo - Ravera, this wine has been renamed Tre Tine. The 2012 Barolo Tre Tine is a beautifully fragrant and elegantly perfumed Nebbiolo with a graceful and ethereal approach. This is traditional Barolo in its highest and most distinguished form. The bouquet offers pressed rose, licorice, tobacco, cola, dried fruit and white truffle. The quality of these aromas is pristine and sharp. Barolo Tre Tine takes a similar approach on the palate with long, silky tannins. This wine is built to last." —Monica Larner

"Chiara Boschis’ wines seem less oaky than they used to be – a good thing. A very pure, floral rendition of Cannubi."

Wine Spectator

92 points

"Floral, cherry, strawberry and spice aromas and flavors converge in this supple red. The tannins are there, along with bright acidity, leaving a hint of dustiness on the lingering tobacco finish."

Kerin O'Keefe

"Red berry, tilled soil, leather, aromatic herb and clove aromas slowly take shape in the glass together with a balsamic note. The bright, elegantly structured palate doles out layers of black raspberry, ripe black cherry, white pepper and licorice while firm, refined tannins provide the framework. It's subtle and loaded with finesse. Drink 2017–2022." —Kerin O'Keefe

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.
