Giuseppe
Rinaldi
Six generations of uncompromising traditional winemaking. Sisters Marta (winemaker) and Carlotta Rinaldi (agronomist) continue the legacy of their father Giuseppe "Beppe" Rinaldi—one of Barolo's most iconic traditionalists.
Founded in 1870 by Giovanni Rinaldi, evolved through Battista (mayor of Barolo and first president of the Enoteca Regionale), and transformed by Beppe into a symbol of resistance against modernist trends. Today, the estate remains fiercely independent.
Marta Rinaldi
Trained at Alba's enological institute, Marta took over in 2010. Technical precision meets artistic vision in the cellar—native yeasts, no temperature control, zero compromise.
Carlotta Rinaldi
New Zealand-trained vineyard geek overseeing 8 hectares of organic crus. No certifications, just traditional practices passed down through generations.
The Crus
Eight hectares across Barolo's most prestigious sites. Organically farmed without certification bureaucracy.
Brunate
The historic heart. Powerful, structured Nebbiolo with exceptional aging potential.
Le Coste
Elegant, aromatic. Often blended with Brunate for added complexity.
Cannubi San Lorenzo
Sandier soils producing refined, perfumed expressions.
Ravera
Recent addition adding depth and complexity to the portfolio.
Bussia
The newest acquisition expanding the family's prestigious footprint.
"Wine as art. No temperature control, no filtration, no compromise."— The Rinaldi Philosophy

Intense cherry, rose, and tar. Aged 3.5 years in large oak casks. No sulfur at bottling. The estate's flagship.
Masterful blend of Le Coste, Cannubi San Lorenzo, and Ravera. Elegant, complex, spicy.
