2020 Giuseppe Rinaldi, Barolo, Bussia Price_115 Domaine Michel Lafarge is aThe wines of Giuseppe Rinaldi reflect a deeply traditional vision of Barolo. Fermentations are long, extraction is patient, and aging takes place in large old casks rather than small barriques. The goal is not to shape the wine in the cellar but to allow Nebbiolo and site to articulate themselves with clarity. Bussia lies in the commune of Monforte d'Alba, where compact marl and limestone soils tend to produce Barolo with breadth and structure.
