Why We're Buying

Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo Tre Tine is a prime example of passionate winemaking mixed with high-quality grapes. The estate's commitment to producing superior wines has lasted for more than a century, and this Barolo still uses traditional winemaking techniques. Give this red wine time in the cellar to soften the high tannin count. Investors who held this offering from 2017 to 2021 saw the price more than double.

Critics Scores

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

This wine celebrated its 100-year anniversary in 2016. Representing its 99th birthday, the 2015 Barolo Tre Tine is a blend of fruit from Ravera (60), Le Coste (20) and Cannubi San Lorenzo (20). These sites encountered some challenges with hail in the 2014 vintage that resulted in a 30 loss of fruit. The Rinaldi family saw hail in the Brunate and Cerequio area in 2016. But the 2015 vintage saw smooth sailing and what winemaker Marta Rinaldi calls "a return to normalcy." She says fermentations proceeded beautifully and without any holdups. This Barolo opens to a medium-dark garnet color with bright fruit tones followed by licorice, tar and delicate balsam herb. The wine offers a degree of softness that comes through in the quality of the tannins and the texture of the mouthfeel.

Wine Spectator

The bright floral, strawberry, cherry and sandalwood flavors and the savory wild rosemary, juniper and eucalyptus notes show tension. Matched with the supple texture, elegant profile and overall harmony, those complex flavors resonate. Fine length. Best from 2023 through 2045.

Wine Enthusiast

Full bodied and elegantly structured, this offers alluring aromas of woodland berry, wild herbs and camphor along with a whiff of forest floor. On the firm palate, taut, refined tannins offset juicy red cherry, pomegranate, star anise and a hint of tobacco. A hazelnut note lingers on the close.
