Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo Brunate 2010 is a medium- to full-bodied red wine produced from Nebbiolo grapes in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. Beppe Rinaldi was one of the most revered winemakers in the Langhe, whose wines are highly sought-after among Barolo aficionados. Until his death in 2018, he produced wines that were among the most traditional in Barolo, with long maceration times and patient maturation in old Slavonian oak casks. There are wines that take along time to open up and mature, but that emphatically reward patience. "The 2010 Barolo (Riserva) Brunate is off the charts. Sublime, powerful and incredibly nuanced, the 2010 captures all the elements that make this vintage so special. I am not sure what I can add. Everything is there. Time in the glass brings out a super-classic profile of rose petal, tar, incense, spice and citrus peel, but it is the wine’s regal bearing that is truly impressive." 100 points, Vinous, 2019

Vinous
A wine of mind-blowing complexity, Rinaldi’s 2010 Barolo Brunate is everything Barolo can be—powerful, refined, seductive, intensely aromatic, structured and so incredibly beautiful that words seem inadequate. It opens with soaring notes of rose petal, iron, coffee, mint, white pepper, melted road tar, spice and orange peel. Youthfully tannic and structured, the 2010 has softened a bit since its very early days, but it remains quite young. The obvious question is: Is it ready? Yes and no. Readers who have a bottle or two may want to wait another five years or so. Those fortunate enough to own a little more may want to dip into their stash. One thing is certain: Beppe Rinaldi’s 2010 Barolo is an absolute masterpiece, a testament to a brilliant career.Antonio Galloni1st December 2024
