The estate of Francesco Rinaldi e Figli is one of the greatest names in Piemonte. Located in the town of Barolo itself, the estate has a long and illustrious history in the region. Founded in 1870, it is now run by Luciano Rinaldi’s niece, Paola Rinaldi with help from her sister Piera Rinaldi. They continue to make beautiful wines within the great traditions of Barolo, avoiding new oak, preferring long macerations, and aging in large Slavonian oak prior to bottling. This wine is ruby red in colour with violet reflections. On the nose you get lovely delicate hints of flowers and fresh fruit. It is dry on the palate with an aftertaste of almonds.
