| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.7 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Jens DT on 2/22/2024 & rated 92 points: Drak med far og Mussi hos Damiano. Elegant. Lys. God balance og lang eftersmag. Mere stringent og stram end Conterno, som vi også fik😍🍷 (543 views) | | | Tasted by Robmcl920 on 11/28/2023 & rated 92 points: The ‘17 Tre Tine is a promising wine, showing the strengths and weaknesses of the ‘17 vintage - the expression is classic Tre Tine and doesn’t show much of the heat of the year, but the tannins are a bit stricter than normal and the wine lacks a bit of the density of the best years. This is not an early drinking wine. It is probably best left for at least another 5 years for the wine to open up a bit and for the strict tannins to soften. As usual (2019 may be an exception), in 2017 I think the Brunate is the wine that is easier to drink young as it is more finessed and exotic while the Tre Tine is more classic.
On the nose, I found classic aromatics of sweet red cherry, rose petals, menthol, and a touch of a more rustic leather note. On the palate, the wine is medium to light in body with a classic but simple expression of sweet red cherry fruit, red floral tones, and mint. It seems tight right now, so I bet more complexity will emerge with time. At times, it is strict and at times, a bit more of that Rinaldi sweetness emerges. The tannin quality here is good by 2017 standards, but a bit grainier than usual for Rinaldi, but with 5-10 years in bottle this should be drinking well. (1093 views) | | | Tasted by palfr2 on 9/24/2023: Nose of raspberry , cool cassis, flowers with also some ferrous element , none of which betrays a warm vintage. Seamless transition between nose , palate and finish i.e. no clipping sensation, rather spherical and good balance. Tannins are rather unobtrusive and low-gripping for a Nebbiolo-based wine that is. Fruit on the palate is more cooked/stewed. Great resonance on the finish. Quality drink no doubt. In my world this scratches the same itch as a cool Burgundy vintage and would hold its own with elite 1er Cru, possibly above. (894 views) | | | Tasted by rlove on 12/24/2022 & rated 94 points: Rinaldi's 2017 Tre Tine is excellent (possibly superior to the Brunate today?) with red cherry, rose, and earth. Lithe and vibrant with bright acidity and good depth to the red fruit that offers excellent persistence on the finish. Very good even tonight but obviously hold this for a bit. (1436 views) | | | Tasted by Drankard on 10/8/2021: Medium bodied wine, delicate red fruit, floral with a tannic bite. Good balance.
Everyone enjoyed this but I thought this lacked depth. Hard to justify the price tag. (2384 views) |

GIUSEPPE RINALDI
A family-run production company, it exclusively produces grapes produced from its own vineyards. At the beginning of the 19th century, Battista Rinaldi was a cultivator of some vineyards of the Feudo of the Marquises Falletti di Barolo. Later he became a farmer owner and, initially, a seller of the grapes produced. Later, with his sons, he became a winemaker and bottler. The same company tradition, of character and craft dimensions, today continues with Giuseppe Rinaldi and the fifth and sixth generation daughters. The company produces Barolo for about 60% (Brunate vineyards, Le Coste, Cannubi-San Lorenzo, Ravera) and for the rest, Piedmontese wines such as Dolcetto d’Alba, Barbera d’Alba, Nebbiolo and Freisa delle Langhe, Ruchè.NebbioloNebbiolo is a red grape indigenous to the Piedmont region of Italy in the Northwest. The grape can also be found in other parts of the world, though they are not as respected.
Nebbiolo is often considered the "king of red wines," as it is the grape of the famed wines of Barolo DOCG, Barbaresco DOCG, and Roero DOCG. It is known for high tannins and acidity, but with a distinct finesse. When grown on clay, Nebbiolo can be very powerful, tannic, and require long aging periods to reach its full potential. When grown on sand, the grape exhibits a more approachable body with more elegant fruit and less tannins, but still has high aging potential.
"Nebbiolo" is named for the Italian word, "nebbia", which means "fog", in Italian and rightfully so since there is generally a lot of fog in the foothills of Piedmont during harvest.
Nebbiolo is a late-ripening variety that does best in a continental climate that boasts moderate summers and long autumns. In Piedmont, Nebbiolo is normally harvested in October.

The wines of Piedmont are noted as far back as Pliny's Natural History. Due to geographic and political isolation, Piedmont was without a natural port for most of its history, which made exportation treacherous and expensive. This left the Piedmontese with little incentive to expand production. Sixteenth-century records show a mere 14% of the Bassa Langa under vine -- most of that low-lying and farmed polyculturally. In the nineteenth century the Marchesa Falletti, a frenchwoman by birth, brought eonologist Louis Oudart from Champagne to create the first dry wines in Piemonte. Along with work in experimental vineyards at Castello Grinzane conducted by Camilo Cavour -- later Conte di Cavour, leader of the Risorgimento and first Prime Minister of Italy -- this was the birth of modern wine in the Piedmont. At the heart of the region and her reputation are Alba and the Langhe Hills. This series of weathered outcroppings south of the Tanaro River is of maritime origin and composed mainly of limestone, sand and clay, known as terra bianca. In these soils -located mainly around the towns of Barolo and Barbaresco -- the ancient allobrogica, now Nebbiolo, achieves its renowned fineness and power.
