Giuseppe Rinaldi

In contrast to some of his colleagues in Barolo, Rinaldi describes 2006 as a year that made "an easy style of Barolo. They already taste good. Here, 2007 is more austere." Rinaldi told me he likes the 2005s a lot and that he picked before the last rain. In fact, his two '05 Barolos showed very well on my visit. Of all the producers I visit regularly, Rinaldi is one of the last true traditionalists. In his ramshackle cellar stocked with large wood vats, he still bottles after 36 to 42 months (previously he waited a full four years) and his wines frequently show an old-school decadence and often some distinctly animal character. Happily, since 1996 they have also been characterized by more pliant tannins and early appeal without obvious loss of aging potential.
