Giuseppe Rinaldi, Barolo Brunate Riserva, 1980
Forty-five years on, from one of Barolo's most uncompromising traditionalists. Giuseppe Rinaldi's Brunate Riserva was reserved for only the greatest vintages and held ten years before release — and this 1980 bottle, like its 1985 sibling, predates the 2010 MGA regulation that forced Rinaldi to abandon the blending of Brunate and Le Coste under one label. Pure Brunate from La Morra, made in the heart of the Battista Rinaldi era (Beppe took over in 1992 after his father's death). The 1980 vintage was modest by Piedmont standards, but four-plus decades of patient cellar age have settled the wine into the place library Barolo wants to live: fragile, perfumed, tertiary, with all the trace evidence of the traditionalist hand. A cult bottle for the deepest collectors.
