Giuseppe Rinaldi, Barolo Brunate la Coste, 1999
The cult traditionalist blend — before the law killed it. From 2010 onward, EU rules forced producers to bottle single crus separately, but in 1999 Beppe Rinaldi was still combining roughly 60% Brunate and 40% Le Coste into one Barolo, a blend Beppe himself introduced in 1993. This is the classical Rinaldi expression that built the cult: two parcels speaking together, neither louder than the other. 1999 was a great classical vintage, and at 26 years on, this is squarely in its drinking window — resolved but still vivid, the tannins integrated, the perfume opening freely. Beppe-era Rinaldi at full maturity, from a house that fights tooth and nail for tradition.
