The 2017 Barolo Brunate in magnum format presents a deep garnet core complemented by vivid ruby edges, releasing aromas of wild cherry, violet petal, blood orange rind, licorice root and earthy undergrowth woven with graphite minerality. On the palate it delivers an elegant yet firmly structured experience—bright acidity frames a dense core of red‑berry compote and black cherry, intertwined with cedar, dark baking spice and a hint of tobacco leaf. Mid‑palate complexity unfolds with dried herb, forest floor, camphor and chalky extract, all supported by polished but firm tannins that promise age. The large format enhances the wine’s depth, texture and developmental potential, making it compelling now with decanting yet built for decades of evolution. A long, refined finish echoes cherry pit, iron shavings, and dried herb spice, leaving a mineral‑tinged memory that lingers beautifully.

Located in Barolo, Piedmont, Giuseppe Rinaldi is revered for his unwavering dedication to traditional Nebbiolo winemaking—late harvest, extended maceration, and ageing in large Slavonian oak casks—ensuring each wine remains deeply rooted in its place and heritage. Rinaldi’s efforts are guided by minimal intervention and profound respect for terroir, earning his wines cult status among collectors seeking authenticity and longevity. The estate’s holdings in premier crus such as Brunate, Le Coste, and Ravera supply fruit that combines power with finesse, and the family legacy continues to craft wines of exceptional character.
