Description
Giuseppe Rinaldi, Barolo
The provocative, staunchly traditionalist Giuseppe “Beppe” Rinaldi—the modern face of this historic Barolo property—passed away in 2018, leaving his two daughters, Marta and Carlotta, to carry on producing some of the most perfumed, soulful, long-lasting Barolo in existence. And before there was Beppe, who took over the estate in 1993, there was another Giuseppe (Beppe’s grandfather, for whom he was named), who started the whole shebang way back in the 1920s.
This ’67 is a beautifully preserved piece of history, exhibiting a healthy color for a wine of this age and the incredibly complex perfume aged Nebbiolo is so famous for. A special-occasion wine for those who crave the best of the best. Rather than decanting this, stand the bottle upright several days before serving. Gently extract the cork (a Durand opener may be required) and pour gently, as if decanting the wine into your glass. Drink now!
