Very fruity and sweet, but not headache-inducing. It’s the perfect level of sweetness for me! :) — 6 years ago

Dark rubi color, beautiful nose of crushed flowers and lavender, very tannic but somewhat accessible mouth with great length and balance. A fantastic Barolo that is very drinkable now but with outstanding potential to hold. Beppe Rinaldi and daughters did wonderfully in 2013 and this is a must have bottle !! — 8 years ago

Sometime you’ve got to standup to bow down. Stellar bottle, eclipsed only by the ‘89. Incredible refinement, balance, and length. Another standout from the beppe dinner — 8 years ago

(Tasted at "Del Posto", La Festa del Barolo Masterclass Tasting)
One of my Top2 was Giuseppe Rinaldis "Brunate". 80% fruit from "Brunate" and 20% from "Le Coste". Of course in a state where it is not delivering all of it's power, but it was still so good with an inner harmony of Brunate fruit, happy tannins and some balsamic notes. This is Brunate to me, even though Beppe might say "it's not austere enough". — 8 years ago

With the news of Beppe Rinaldi’s grave condition making the rounds, Il Professore and I wanted to share a bottle of Rinaldi Barolo. The 1971 was made by Beppe’s father, Battista, and was a real treat to drink. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, December 2018) — 7 years ago

Dark rubi color, very discrete and reserved nose, good grip and black fruit / crushed flowers, lots of tanins and quite polished, an excellent Freisa to drink or hold from master Beppe. — 8 years ago

This is another recommendation from Matt Tornabene from MWC in NYC. Really great Nebbiolo with crushed rock, lavender, spices, very floral and with medium length and perfect polished finishing. If you know Beppe Rinaldi then this is a go to wine for a fraction of the price of its Barolos, otherwise great introduction to Piemonte wines. Enthusiastically recommended ! — 8 years ago
