"Giuseppe Rinaldi's recent vintages have the potential to become cult wines. The 2015 is extremely pale and lively, focused on fresh citrusy notes of orange peel and cedar wood with a rhubarb candy core accompanied by star anise, vermouth, tar and liquorice. It's full and austere on the palate yet with refined velvety tannins: a Barolo of great personality and elegance for demanding drinkers."

"Eucalyptus, underbrush and red berry aromas shape the nose on this structured, elegant red. The taut palate is full of tension and energy, delivering crushed raspberry, juicy Marasca cherry, licorice and a hint of truffle alongside refined, enveloping tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it well balanced"

"The 2015 Barolo Brunate benefits from a thicker soil profile in this vineyard that consequently bumps the wine's aromatic intensity and staying power up a notch or two. This wine is almost crunchy in texture, with a subtle snap or crackle as it hits the palate. It shows enormous beauty and richness with a dark fruit profile followed by elements of spice, tar, tobacco and moist potting soil. There are floral notes as well with rose and lavender. This wine will reward those with the patience to wait."
