A true legend in the commune of Barolo, Beppe Rinaldi was the last of the “Last of the Mohicans” – the others were Bartolo Mascarello and Teobaldo Cappellano – who resisted modern trends. Sadly, he died in 2018 at a still young 69, and the estate is now run by his daughters Marta and Carlotta (the winemaker and farmer, respectively), who are extremely worthy successors. Like Bartolo Mascarello, Beppe believed in the magic of blending different sites, but EU labeling laws forced him to make some compromises. They now release a Brunate, which is 85% Brunate and the rest Le Coste, and a “Tre Tine”, which is a blend of their remaining grapes from Le Coste, plus San Lorenzo and Ravera. They also have a range of wines from lesser grapes that are excellent but rarely seen in the United States because they are not imported via regular channels.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 91
"The 2023 Langhe Freisa is the most complex of the three entry-level 2023s I tasted at Rinaldi. Crushed flowers, dried herbs, mint, licorice and rosewater give the 2023 lovely aromatic complexity to match its mid-weight personality. The Freisa was fermented in stainless steel and aged between five and six months in cask. It's an undeniably attractive wine from Rinaldi." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 91
"This wine has been in bottle since the end of August 2024 and hit the market at the end of that year. The Giuseppe Rinaldi 2023 Langhe Freisa is expressive and bright with grilled watermelon and grenadine. It also shows sweet cherry and raspberry followed by bitter almond. Dolcetto is sometimes planted near Nebbiolo to guard against the Flavescence dorée disease that is spread by phytoplasmas (bacteria-like microorganisms). Dolcetto is less vulnerable to the disease and so is Freisa; that's why additional acreage of this native grape was planted. Better yet, we get more of this delicious wine, which is always a personal favorite." -Monica Larner
