The 2019 Cannubi from Francesco Rinaldi & Figli is gorgeous delivering juicy red berry menthol baking spice and licorice sensations as well as floral notes recalling iris and rose. It?s structured and extremely elegant and energized with tightly knit refined tannins and fresh acidity. It?s still on the austere side so give it several more years to fully unwind and develop.

The 2019 Barolo Cannubi has a lovely spicy almost exotic quality with tart cherry fruit and nicely balanced campfire ash tar and licorice root. You get the elegant nuances of Cannubi presented with extra intensity and richness in the 2019 vintage. The finish has sweet fruit silky tannins and an open-knit approach. The wine is aged in large oak casks for 36 months and 10000 bottles were created. Paola and Piera Rinaldi have created a new wine the 2022 Langhe Freisa with just 1800 bottles made. It will be bottled in fall 2023 so I have not had the opportunity to taste it yet. Published: Aug 24 2023

The 2019 Barolo Cannubi is another super-classic Barolo from Rinaldi. It offers a combination of Cannubi finesse and old-school power that is striking. Crushed flowers mint cedar white pepper leather and pine lend notable aromatic brilliance. Beneath it all lies a serious core of fruit acid and tannin. Readers should be in no rush here. - By Antonio Galloni on September 2023 Francesco Rinaldi is one of the few producers of classically built wines that still remains somewhat under the radar. The wines can be a bit burly in the early going but they come together very nicely with a few years of bottle age. Although the single vineyard Barolos get most of the attention here I often find the straight Barolo to be one of the best wines in its peer group as it is again in 2019. The Dolcetto remains the star among the house?s entry-level offerings.
