About this Item

2001 Barolo Brunate-Le Coste
3 (1 x 3) 750ml

Giuseppe Rinaldi is one of the Piedmont’s most highly regarded producers and a leading standard-bearer of old-school Langhe wines. Giuseppe ‘Beppe’ Rinaldi, a true traditionalist, took over the estate from his father in 1992, and continued making the traditional-styled wines that had become increasingly sought-after. Rinaldi always believed that the best wines from Barolo were blends from several sites and his most prominent wines were blends from the Brunate and Le Coste, and the Cannubi and Ravera vineyards respectively, and were labeled as such. In 2018, Beppe passed away at age of 69 and his wife, Alessia, took over the management of the family business together with their daughters Marta and Carlotta, who oversee the winemaking and vineyard upkeep. Today, Giuseppe Rinaldi remains one of the Barolo’s most talked-about, old-style producers.

Critics Ratings

‘The 2001 Barolo Brunate-Le Coste is big, plush and totally inviting. Layers of dark, balsamic-infused fruit blossom in the glass as this deep, spherical wine shows off its pedigree. There is little question the wine’s best days lie in the future. Readers who own the 2001 are in for a treat. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2031.’ - Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, 95/100 (Apri 2012)

‘Medium ruby with brickstone rim. Traditional but with succulence and lightness and with a gentle structure.’ - Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Jun 2011)
