A gift for the Franks for my first time at Frankie’s Spuntino. In the same vein as Rinaldi but with a more rustic and herbal expression. Truly a show stopper. Rides that perfect line between wild and elegance. Ink and tar and flowers and just full joy. Have had many bottles that were cooked or just plain off. So thrilled to get these from the source — a year ago

Darker colour than the 2018 Langhe Nebbiolo tried earlier in the week. A little more rustic and less expressive on the palate but remains true to Piedemont with rose and cherry flavours and appealing texture. New grape variety for me which is interesting. Lower price point so accessible entry to the Rinaldi style which I’m currently thinking is similar to Bartolo but a less little less savoury. — 3 years ago

Great Dolcetto. Dark fruit and earthy notes with lively acidity. A serious and austere interpretation of this underrated grape. — 3 years ago

A lighter traditional style of Amarone. There was some savory smokiness to this as well...atypical but nice with osso bucco. Not imported to the US as far as I know. — 6 years ago

Consider this a collective note on the '67 Barolo vintage...having tasted through about fifteen, most were fading or already past it. Burlotto, Prunotto, and Vietti were all wonderful and G. Rinaldi could legitimately go another decade, but in general, drink 'em if ya got 'em! — 7 years ago

9.1

Tight and beautifully balanced. This class act will cruise for many years still, and while just recently bottled, it already shows the pedigree of this great, great vintage. Best from 2022. — 6 years ago

Dolcetto at the peak of its greatness. Smells like piedmont and is coming out with deep forest smokey secondary flavours with that signature Rinaldi texture. Thanks James. — 7 years ago
