Mixed Case Barolo Giuseppe Rinaldi (6bt Brunate, 3bt ea. Bussia & Tre Tine) 2020

Tasting Notes

***Barolo Tre Tine - 95 points***
The 2020 Tre Tine is rounder than usual, with great fruit flavors recalling ripe Morello cherry and crushed strawberry accented by star anise and botanical herb. A salty note lifts the finish while polished tannins provide gentle support. This is already approachable but also promises years of pleasure. Best 2025–2032.

***Barolo Brunate - 97 points***
Showing more spice and herbs than Tre Tine, the stunning Brunate 2020 opens with scents of camphor, cedar and pine forest. This also has a more tannic structure than Tre Tine, delivering red cherry, juicy pomegranate, star anise and tobacco before a saline close. Firm, refined tannins provide seamless support. Drink 2028–2038.

***Barolo Bussia - 97 points***
The 2020 Bussia from Giuseppe Rinaldi is beautifully balanced and structured, featuring aromas and flavors of eucalyptus, wild rosemary, red plum and black cherry along with spicy notes of cinnamon and star anise. Still young and taut, it has tightly woven, refined tannins while fresh acidity keeps it well balanced. Drink 2028–2038.
