2013 Barolo ‘Tre Tine’ Giuseppe Rinaldi

The 2013 Barolo ‘Tre Tine’ from Giuseppe Rinaldi is a stunning example of the depth and complexity of Barolo, often referred to as the ‘King of Wines’. Hailing from the Langhe hills of Piedmont, this wine comes from a small, family-run estate where the Rinaldi family has been crafting wines for generations. The vineyards, located in some of Barolo’s finest crus, benefit from the region’s unique terroir—soil rich in clay, limestone, and marl—and a combination of Mediterranean and continental climate that allows Nebbiolo to thrive.

The 2013 vintage is an exceptional one, showing the perfect balance of fruit, tannin, and acidity. It boasts aromas of dark cherry, rose petal, and earthy notes of tar and leather, with subtle hints of spice. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and structured, with complex layers of dark fruit, dried herbs, and a lingering, tannic finish.

This Barolo pairs beautifully with rich dishes like braised beef, truffle risotto, or aged cheeses such as Castelmagno. It’s a wine built for ageing, but even in its youth, it’s a truly unforgettable experience.
