Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 3, 2024 - The ‘19 Brunate is an incredible young Barolo. The winemaking at Rinaldi continues to become more and more finessed. This wine is a perfect blend of super sweet, primary fruit with savory and herbal complexity, and the most finessed tannins imaginable in a Barolo this young.

On the nose, I found pure red berry fruit with hard candy like sweetness, a burst of fresh red roses, fresh mint, and a hint of leather. On the palate, the wine is medium in body with high acidity, stunning inner sweetness, and super fine grained tannins that are nearly fully integrated despite the wine’s youth. I found a similar flavor profile on the palate, but the wine showed a more prominent herbal, mint flavor on the finish than the mint note I got on the nose. I recall this same herbal, minty note when tasting this at the winery. Mint is a common flavor profile in Barolo, but on the finish here I think it stands out in an unusual way.
