Translucent ruby. An interesting and contrasting nose with mostly red fruits juxtaposed with barnyard, a savory meatiness, tar, singed herbs, and a subtle floral lift. Medium light weighted, with good acidity and a sense of balance. An understated, very drinkable wine that is complicated enough to keep you interest, a great companion to food, and easy to enjoy. Lovely 89

Visit to Giuseppe Rinaldi (Barolo, Piemonte, Italy): Medium red. Perfumed nose of strawberry and plum with an unfortunate bretty undertone. Light and energetic, nice acidity, soft tannins. My notes are unclear; this came from bottle but may be yet unreleased. (86-87)

The house style is definitely there though the fruit and texture is more rustic. Easy to drink and enjoy with 12.5% ABV.

Rustic nose with some barnyard. Wild strawberry and tart red fruit. Very lean and high acidity. Fine grained tannins.

Light and elegant. Slight touch of barnyard. Quite similar to Beaujolais, but with higher acidity and sharper tannins.
