Producer Notes
A fierce traditionalist, Rinaldi has become one of the remaining few of the original old guard that refused to take on the modern style of winemaking when it became fashionable in the 1980’s. He also follows the notion of blending to create balance with most of the wines made from four vineyards in the Barolo commune.
