TASTING NOTES

Production

Giuseppe Rinaldi’s Barolo Bussia hails from the historic Bussia MGA, in the municipality of Monforte d’Alba, one of the most renowned crus of the Barolo appellation. It is produced exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes sourced from vineyards cultivated using traditional, land-respecting viticulture, with low yields and a strong focus on quality. Harvesting is done by hand and vinification follows the winery’s classic style: fermentation in concrete tanks with long maceration on the skins, without excessive temperature control, to preserve authenticity and expressiveness. Ageing takes place for several years in large oak barrels, followed by a long rest in the bottle, allowing the wine to fully express the character of the cru.

Organoleptic Characteristics

Visually, it presents an intense ruby red colour with garnet highlights. On the nose, it is deep, austere and complex, with aromas of ripe cherry, plum and small red berries, accompanied by notes of wilted rose, violet, liquorice, fine spices, tobacco, undergrowth and light balsamic and earthy nuances. On the palate, it is structured and rigorous, with substantial yet noble tannins, a vibrant freshness and a deep, coherent flavour profile. The finish is long, persistent and harmonious, displaying great authenticity and the potential to evolve over time.

Occasion and Pairing

A Barolo of great tradition and character, ideal for special occasions and for moments of thoughtful tasting. It pairs magnificently with red meats, braised dishes, game, hearty Piedmontese dishes and mature cheeses.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16–18°C.

THE WINERY

Giuseppe Rinaldi

A winery that has now become legendary. Giuseppe Rinaldi, known as “Citrico”, has represented the tradition and craftsmanship of the Langa at its best for years. A nickname given because of the “sour” character and that note of “citrus freshness” that characterised all his wines, especially Barolo and Nebbiolo. Having passed away a few years ago, his work is carried on by his daughter Marta Rinaldi with meticulous fidelity to his father's teachings. Attention to the vineyard and care of the environment surrounding the vineyards, minimisation of interventions in the winery, respect for Piedmontese traditions, from long ageing to the use of large Slavonian oak barrels for refinement, not the secrets but the modus operandi handed down through generations that allows Giuseppe Rinaldi wines to be unique and unmistakable, unquestionable points of reference in the production of Piedmontese wines. Name and address of producer/distributor: Giuseppe Rinaldi - Via Monforte, 3, 12060 Barolo CN. Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
