Giuseppe Rinaldi Langhe Freisa 2024

$7999

Giuseppe Rinaldi makes some of the world's greatest Barolo, the kind you can't drink every day, but the cantina's "little wines" let you visit this hallowed address far more often. Freisa is a little-known native Piedmont grape, a genetic relative of Nebbiolo, and Rinaldi's version is richer and more serious than most, marrying juicy fruit with real structure. Daughters Carlotta and Marta carry on their late father Beppe's uncompromising traditional style. These have become "baby unicorns," so grab them when you can. This is the 2024.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2024 Langhe Freisa is a pretty, alluring wine. Spice, floral and savory notes open first. Bright and finely sculpted, the Freisa shows the light-bodied style of the year, and yet it has terrific fruit and plenty of character. It’s a gorgeous wine that's very much in line with the Rinaldi style." —Antonio Galloni

More about Giuseppe Rinaldi

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.
