| Community Tasting Notes (average 95.3 pts. and median of 95 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by MC2 Wines on 11/29/2023: Piemonte: Truffles instead of Turkey; 11/23/2023-12/2/2023 (Barolo, Barbaresco, Alto Piemonte and of course Alba): Mostly Ravera vineyard although a bit of Le Coste and Cannubi as well. Ravera has often been a favorite of mine and it does seem with the climate change there is a different POV towards it than maybe in the past. I was originally told it was more of a premier cru than grand but maybe that is changing some. Licorice and tea leaves and hints of fruit. There’s strength here but then towards the end it softens a bit. Lots of tannin. A wine made for a very long life ahead. (1471 views) | | | Tasted by Robmcl920 on 11/23/2023 & rated 95 points: The ‘19 Tre Tine is an incredibly finessed young Barolo. While in past vintages I have found the Tre Tine to be classically tannic, making the Brunate the better wine to drink young, in the ‘19 the tannins seem to take a big step up in quality.
The nose was nicely perfumed with sweet red cherry fruit, red florals, tobacco, licorice, and menthol. On the palate, the wine is medium to light in body, shockingly easy to drink with almost no tannins to speak of. The flavor profile is nicely concentrated though, with a mass of red cherry fruit and red florals along with tobacco and licorice. On the finish, herbal notes dominate, with mint and other cool herbs, anise, smoke, and red floral tones lingering.
The knock on the ‘19 Tre Tine is it lacks much complexity, at least for now, but it is a super enjoyable wine. (1089 views) | | | Tasted by NostraBacchus on 11/4/2023 & rated 96 points: Very pure, sweet red cherries, some notes of violets, rose petals, also some balsamic notes, there is a purity that is so nice it is starting to close down a little though. Medium-full bodied, with high acidity and medium-high tannin that is super silky buy sneaking up. Long finish. Another beautiful Tre Tine. It's getting even more seductive with some air.... beautiful. (1380 views) | | | Tasted by Robmcl920 on 4/15/2023: Visit to Giuseppe Rinaldi; 4/13/2023-4/18/2023: Brief tasting at the winery. The ‘19 Tre Tine is a gorgeous young wine, more accessible than most ‘19s I’ve tasted and also more finessed than I recall prior vintages of Tre Tine, which I’ve found to show a more classic structure and tannin profile than the Brunate.
On the nose, the ‘19 Tre Tine was classic Barolo with sweet red cherry fruit and fresh red roses, not (with a single glass) showing much complexity right now, but very attractive. On the palate, the Tre Tine was more finessed than I recall this wine in prior vintages, with plenty of tannin but very fine grained and integrated already. It was still more tannic than the Brunate alongside it, but far less than the Bussia. I found rich red fruit and fresh red roses, licorice, and peppermint like, sweet herbal tones. As always at rinaldi, the sweetness of the fruit really stood out. (2020 views) | | | Tasted by cct on 4/11/2023 & rated 95 points: With Carlotta
Rose and balsam. Perfumed and floral on the nose with cherry fruit, roses, Cannubi perfume and some mountain herbs. Midweighted and graceful with excellent balance and a cooling calm sense. Lovely, sense of clarity- minerality. Deep yet not heavy. Perfumed and long. (1392 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.
