The Barbera d’Alba 2014 is a refined, cool-vintage expression that emphasizes elegance and nuance over power. The nose opens with sour cherry, red plum, dried rose, and subtle balsamic notes, layered with hints of earth and gentle spice. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, with vibrant acidity giving lift and definition to its red-fruited core. Flavors of cranberry, tart cherry, and savory herbal tones unfold gradually, showing clarity and restraint. The texture is silky and resolved, reflecting both vintage character and traditional élevage. The finish is long, fresh, and quietly savory—an understated, soulful Barbera that captures Rinaldi’s timeless, uncompromising style.

Giuseppe Rinaldi is one of Piedmont’s most legendary and uncompromising traditional estates, revered for its absolute fidelity to terroir, patience, and classical methods. Based in the village of Barolo, the Rinaldi family has long rejected modern shortcuts, favoring long macerations, neutral oak, and minimal intervention. While globally celebrated for Barolo, the estate treated Barbera with equal seriousness, crafting wines built for structure and longevity rather than simple fruitiness. The philosophy centers on balance, transparency, and natural evolution over time. Rinaldi’s wines are deeply expressive of vintage and place, never styled or softened for early appeal. Bottles from mature vintages are increasingly rare, representing a disappearing era of authentic Piedmontese winemaking.
