2017 Barolos - More Success For Francesco Rinaldi

Very classic in style with immediate prettiness on the nose and palate before a firm, driving and deceptively powerful finish. Francesco Rinaldi’s 2016 Barolo was a knock-out and the style and quality and been maintained with this release. – Ches Cook, FWC.

The Francesco Rinaldi & Figli 2017 Barolo Cannubi shows a large span of aromas with dark cherry, plum and cassis. There is a little less definition in this hot-vintage expression (compared to the exacting precision of the 2016 vintage that I remember so fondly). However, the wine sports its broad shoulders with grace and poise. Dark fruit aromas are fleshed out by spice, tar and crushed flowers. Drink 2023-2038. 93 Points. Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate.

The vineyard of 2 hectares is on the border between the villages of Barolo and La Morra, facing south-east. Here you can find the old farmhouse ‘La Brunata’ that has been part of the winery since the early days. Our Barolo Brunate has great body, excellent fragrance and is full of elegance and softness. A captivating and full taste thanks in part to well-balanced tannins. Winemaker’s Comment
