Rinaldi is one of the great family names of Piemonte, with a winemaking pedigree intertwined with the history of Barolo itself. Franceso Rinaldi founded this estate in 1870 and it is run with a deep reverence for its heritage by the latest generation of Rinaldi's.
The winemaking ethos is gloriously traditional, with modern techniques only adopted to nudge the already-stellar bar of quality even higher. For instance, fermentation now takes place in stainless steel, but nothing is hurried; no corners are cut.
Roussot translates as ginger, is a single vineyard within the Barolo cru Cannubi. It is super aromatic, it has a beautiful, lovely opulent nose, dark cherry and chocolate. Lovely and fresh, dry, delicious. Clean finish.
