Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo Brunate 2010 comes from one of the Langhe's most prestigious estates. The Brunate vineyard in La Morra lends the wine a distinctive elegance, typical of a classically styled Barolo. The 2010 vintage offers ripe fruit, a solid structure, and fine tannins – ideal prerequisites for long aging. The winery adheres to traditional methods: hand-harvested grapes, aging in large wooden casks, and patient maturation until bottle maturity. Critics such as Falstaff, Parker, Jancis Robinson, Jeff Leve, and Wine Spectator have praised this combination of terroir and patience.
Tasting note: In the glass, the 2010 Brunate displays a ruby red color with garnet reflections; the nose reveals violets, dark cherries, plums, tar, and a fine mineral note. On the palate, it is elegant, with silky tannins, lively acidity, and a long finish; aeration brings out rosemary, leather, and smoke. It is expected to reach its drinking window between 2025 and 2035, although the wine is already captivating and will continue to gain depth. Food pairing recommendation: Truffle risotto, slow-braised beef with root vegetables, or aged Parmigiano-Reggiano – dishes that perfectly complement the balance of fruit, tar notes, and minerality.
