STORY BEHIND THE WINE

Francesco Rinaldi & Figli is one of the truly great names in Piedmont, situated in the iconic town of Barolo. Established in 1870, the estate boasts a long and illustrious history. After founder Giovanni Rinaldi constructed the original winery and cellar, management passed to his youngest son, Francesco, in 1922. Today, Francesco’s grandnieces, Paola and Piera, run the historic estate. While remaining deeply proud of their traditional roots, they have broadened the winery's horizons to showcase the full, vibrant diversity of the region.

Sourced from 3 hectares of prized vines planted between 1980 and 1990, this 2022 Barolo brings together the finest terroirs of La Morra, Barolo, and Castiglione Falletto. The wine draws its signature elegance from a tapestry of soils - sandy, sandstone-rich plots yield aromatic finesse, while clay and limestone lend depth and structure. Fermented with extended 25–30 day skin contact and aged for three years in traditional 5,000-litre Slavonian oak barrels, this 100% Nebbiolo expresses classic poise. It opens with remarkable harmony, offering a refined, age-worthy Barolo that evolves beautifully in the bottle.
