Francesco Rinaldi
The traditionalist estate of Francesco Rinaldi e Figli is one of the greatest names in Piedmont. Located in the town of Barolo itself, the estate has a long and illustrious history in the region. It was founded in 1870, when Francesco Rinaldi inherited a vineyard and house in Barolo, inducing him to leave behind his work with the very large Mirafiore estate and set out on his own. 130 years later, much of the same techniques are still used in the Francesco Rinaldi cellar to produce some of Barolo's greatest wines. The estate is now run by Luciano Rinaldi's niece, Paola Rinaldi (a graduate of business school) with help from her sister Piera Rinaldi. They continue to make beautiful wines within the great traditions of Barolo, avoiding new oak, preferring long macerations, and aging in large Slavonian oak prior to bottling.
"Its colour is ruby-garnet red with slightly orange reflections after ageing. The smell is ethereal, wide and embracing with scents of rose, violet and soft balmy notes. The taste is dry, severe, savoury and harmonic." - Francesco Rinaldi, Winemaker.
