| Community Tasting Notes (average 95.2 pts. and median of 95 pts. in 14 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by johnh1001 on 11/12/2023 & rated 94 points: Lifted red fruit, floral notes with a touch of tar. This really improved for 3 days. (1956 views) | | | Tasted by johnh1001 on 6/26/2023 & rated 95 points: Another delicious bottle (2435 views) | | | Tasted by rlove on 4/22/2023 & rated 94 points: Rinaldi's 2016 Tre Tine is classic and midweight with stunning notes of cherry, tobacco, and forest floor. Bright with a great acidity. This is already very good but will reward patience. (2475 views) | | | Tasted by hajoha on 2/20/2023 & rated 96 points: Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo Tre Tine 2016.
Fantastisk aromatikk.
Mer frukt og power enn 13 og 14.
Sublim fruktkvalitet og en nydelig balanse.
Høy konsentrasjon og frisk som Nordavinden.
Utrolig fin energi her.
Virker nesten ikke som Rinaldi lukker seg - dette kunne jeg drukket dagen lang.
Meget lang finish med stramme finkornede tanniner.
Helt topp. 95-96p (2736 views) | | | Tasted by Vabon on 2/6/2023 & rated 96 points: out of Magnum. What a wine! Already quite open in the standard of the vintage, this is a monument of delicacy. The finesse of the tannins is amazing, the balance remarkable. The nose is a trip into classic Barolo, sweet cherry roses, minty aromas. Only after quite a while the tannins gives a little grip, showing how much ageing potential this wine actually has. a little flight with angels, that what comes to my mind. (2777 views) | | | Tasted by blank blank on 1/20/2022 & rated 97 points: Holy fucking shit. I have had several bottles of Rinaldi and all were, to be honest, vaguely disappointing; generally darker than I like, and often volatile. This, on the other hand, is the best young Barolo I've drunk since the 2010 Bartolo Mascarello. the fruit is RED, raspberry red, Chambolle red, but with all the density and richness of a fully ripe wine. The tannins are there, for sure, but by nebbiolo standards they are fine and ripe; the wine doesn't just smell like violets and roses, but it STINKS of violets and roses; it's somehow light to medium bodied but with an astonishing intensity of smell and flavor. I'm sure this will age well for 40 years but, improbably, it drinks magnificently now. Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.

(4222 views) | | | Tasted by Finare Vinare on 3/5/2021 & rated 95 points: Deceptively light initially - blind guesses go to Langhe Nebbiolo. As we experience over time, it needs two hours of air to unfold and shine for what it is. The nose offers lovely perfumes of fresh roses, raspberries and red cherries. Underneath lurks a complexity of other stuff of such as liquorice, fine leather, mushrooms, rocks and iodine. The taste is medium-bodied with fine grippy tannins, elegant structure, excellent freshness, and open-knit sweet fruit offset with deeper savoury layers. Exceptionally charming and delicate barolo, so no need to wait really - just make sure to give it enough air. (4172 views) | | | Tasted by johnh1001 on 2/18/2021 & rated 95 points: Been diving into Rinaldi lately. Have had several bottles of those. Very impressive. Consistent with other tasters notes this is bright, beautifully balanced and wonderfully transparent red fruit. Power without weight. Super young and primary but still delicious right now (3729 views) | | | Tasted by Papies on 10/9/2020 & rated 94 points: Annual Pilgrimage to Piedmont - 2020 Edition; 10/9/2020-10/11/2020 (Piemonte, Italy): A bit of a unicorn wine at this stage in Piedmont’s wine scene. This was labelled pre 2010 as Canubi San Lorenzo Ravera ( same law that affected clerico’s botttlings) made from fruit from those 3 vineyards and even at age 4 the wine is really impressive. Granted young ( not harsh or austere in any way) and still very much on the primary side this drinks and delivers superbly. Soft tar on the nose, dark fruits, bright and energetic , round and silky on the edges. Very solid wine delicious now and with lots of life ahead. 94 now but with lots of future potential. (4387 views) | | | Tasted by forceberry on 9/23/2020 & rated 95 points: A blend of fruit from Ravera, Cannubi-San Lorenzo and Le Coste. Until 2009 the wine was known as Barolo Cannubi San Lorenzo Ravera, but changed to Tre Tine in 2010 after the law was changed so that the label couldn't bear multiple Barolo Crus. Fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. Macerated for a month with the skins. Aged for 3½ years in large botti casks. 14% alcohol.
Rather pale and very translucent brick-red color with a pale, burnt clay orange rim. Somehow reticent yet still quite concentrated nose of black cherries, some balsamic VA, a little bit of sweet smoke, light sweet nuances of soft strawberries, bretty hints of leather and stable floor and a touch of raspberry jam. Overall the nose feels surprisingly clean (i.e. not obviously funk) for a Rinaldi. The wine is textural, youthful and savory on the palate with a moderately full body with dry and quite intense flavors of stony minerality, old dry leather, some crunchy cranberry tones, a little bit of juicy dark plum, light earthy tones and sweeter hint of wizened dark berries. The overall feel is pretty firm and structured with its high acidity and ample, grippy tannins, although slightly less so than Rinaldi Brunate 2016. The finish is ripe, juicy and quite grippy with long, dry flavors of black cherries, some gravelly minerality, a little bit of leathery funk, light sanguine notes of iron, a brambly hint of black raspberries and a touch of tobacco.
A beautiful, textural and harmonious Barolo with outstanding sense of balance between the fruit and the structure. Compared to Rinaldi Brunate 2016, this wine feels slightly lighter and delicate in style, but also showing a bit more restraint on the bretty undertones, while Brunate was slightly more funky in style. While both the wines were quite tannic, neither one of them was particularly aggressive and forbidding even this young. Brunate seemed to have a bit more muscular tannic structure, but ultimately Tre Tine might've felt slightly more grippy, as the lighter fruit and body gave more room and presence for the tannins. All in all, I think that Brunate is slightly more impressive in comparison and while the differences of Tre Tine and Brunate are quite minuscule, the wines nevertheless have their differences; Brunate coming across more "Bordelais" and Tre Tine more "Burgundian in style. Most likely Brunate will be the longer-lived wine out of these two, but this Tre Tine is still enormously seductive with its sense of grace and finesse. Very highly recommended. (3817 views) | | | Tasted by Robmcl920 on 5/21/2020 & rated 95 points: The '16 Tre Tine is a classic Barolo yet with great finesse. Sweet red fruit, roses, tobacco, and menthol rise from the glass on the nose, which is very pretty, cool in tone, and nicely perfumed at this stage. On the palate, I found the Tre Tine to have a more classic sense of structure than the Brunate, with firm but elegant tannins, minerality, a high level of acidity, and a sense of austerity in the early going, with light red fruit and roses sticking out a bit and a lovely sweetness, but most of the wine's energy waiting to be unleashed.
As with the Brunate, the Tre Tine (14% alc per label) is one of the lighter textured Barolo I have tasted in 2016, although while the Tre Tine has a lighter fruit profile than the Brunate, I actually find a bit more of a classic sense of structure and tannin in this wine.

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.
