The Pietro Rinaldi 2013 Barolo walks a steady and direct line. This is a contained but complete Nebbiolo that exhibits good depth and persistence. The bouquet reveals tones of black cherry and dried blackberry with cola, licorice and forest floor. The value is not bad either, with 8,000 bottles produced.

Austere in character, this red displays more savory spice, leather and tobacco flavors than cherry or floral notes. Solidly built, with refined yet gripping tannins on the dry, minerally finish. A candidate for food and aging. Best from 2017 through 2028. 1,500 cases made, 600 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
