Taste

Intense ruby red with garnet reflections, this Barbaresco opens with elegant aromas of rose, violet and subtle balsamic notes, alongside a distinctive mineral character. On the palate, layers of ripe cherry, dried red fruit and savoury herbs are supported by fine, velvety tannins and refreshing acidity. A beautifully balanced Nebbiolo with depth, finesse and a long, warming finish.

About the Producer

Founded in 1920, Pietro Rinaldi is a fourth generation family estate based near Alba in Piedmont, with vineyards located in some of the region’s most prestigious areas. The San Cristoforo Barbaresco comes from the Neive sub-zone of the same name, a special cru known for producing elegant and long-lived Nebbiolo. The estate focuses on expressing the character of each vineyard through traditional methods, including ageing this Barbaresco in large Slavonian oak barrels to preserve the purity and finesse of the wine.

Recent critic remarks describe the 2020 vintage as “spiced and racy,” touting its depth of fruit, firm structure, and minerality, noting that it will evolve beautifully in bottle.
