From our Importer: Any connoisseur of the wines of Piemonte will tell you that Cannubi and Brunate are the two most important sites in the village of Barolo, and some of the most important of the entire Barolo zone. The historic house of Francesco Rinaldi, one of the oldest of Barolo, (the entire zone) established in 1870 is supplying us with the last cards necessary for a “Royal Flush”of Barolo Vineyards. With 2.4 Hectares in Cannubi, 2 in Brunate and 3 more made of small slices of Sarmassa and Vignane (also in Barolo), Rocche dell’Anunziata in La Morra and Codana in Castiglione Falletto, the viticultural patrimony of this most historic of houses is impressive. The house style is and always has been VERY traditional. Back in the ’93, ’95 and ’96 vintages when we were selling these wines in the past, that could mean some serious tannins. Without changing much at all in the cellar but employing better farming techniques to get these old vine nebbiolo grapes fully phenolically ripe, today these wines are quite elegant while retaining their characteristic power. Or maybe it is that after 4 generations of making Barolo, today the estate is run by two sisters, Paola and Piera, which in my experience often leads to wines of greater elegance.
