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.Giuseppe Rinaldi Nebbiolo LangheLANGHE NEBBIOLO
Nebbiolo Rinaldi is in fact a mini-Barolo, since the grapes come from the same vineyards and are processed in a similar way to that of the more prestigious denomination, with the exception of the aging time.
Produced from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the thirty-five-year-old vineyards owned by the “Citric” Beppe Rinaldi; the soils are composed of the typical clay-limestone marl of the Langhe at an average altitude of 300 m / slm. After fermentation the wine is left to macerate on the skins, followed by aging in oak barrels for 18 months.
Colour: Intense ruby red
Scent: Elegant, floreal, of geranium, fruity, of small red, wild, spicy and mineral fruits
Taste: Sparkling, fresh, savory and thin tanninsNebbioloNebbiolo 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.
