Guiseppe Rinaldi
At Giuseppe Rinaldi in Barolo, in Piedmont’s Langhe, tradition speaks with an uncompromising voice. The Rinaldi family has been linked to wine for generations; the modern estate was shaped in the early twentieth century by Giuseppe Rinaldi, later defended by Beppe Rinaldi and now carried forward by Marta and Carlotta.The great sites include Brunate, Le Coste, Cannubi San Lorenzo, Ravera and Bussia. Nebbiolo stands at the centre, but not as single-cru theatre at any cost: the classical idea of Barolo lives through the dialogue of different soils, exposures and ripening rhythms.
Rinaldi means long maceration, large botti, patience and resistance to fashionable simplification. The wines arise from calcareous marl, hill air and historical memory; they present Barolo not as a luxury object, but as a cultural position of the Langhe.
