Giuseppe Rinaldi was a famously stubborn, old-school Barolo maker in Barolo village who refused to modernize — long fermentations, big old barrels, wines that taste like the 1960s in the best way. This bottle blends grapes from two prized hillside plots and is one of the most sought-after traditional Barolos made.
