Giuseppe Rinaldi, Barolo Brunate-Le Coste', 2001

Giuseppe Rinaldi makes some of the world's most coveted, hardest-to-find Barolo, traditional wines of remarkable depth and terroir from one of the legendary names of the Langhe. Brunate-Le Coste is the estate's historic blend of two great crus, a wine that wine people chase for years. The 2001 came from a celebrated, classically structured Barolo vintage now considered a benchmark. This is a genuine library bottle: at over two decades it should be in a fully mature, secondary phase, so handle it gently, decant for sediment and serve it with reverence. A rare chance at a true Barolo unicorn.
