Vineyards

Territory

Barolo, La Morra, Castiglione Falletto. Three of the most important villages in the Barolo area, three places where Nebbiolo expresses itself to the best, in fragrance and taste, fruit of a soil made up of unique elements.

Not a random choice for the winery Francesco Rinaldi, the vineyards, some inherited others bought later on, represent the three faces of the Barolo territory. The wines summarize the preciousness of the soil; from compact and silt clayey in the village of Castiglione to more limestoney in La Morra.

But it’s in Barolo where the perfect balance is found, right on the hill of our cellar;  on the Cannubi-hill, chalk, clay and sand blend in a mix that brings balance, harmony, fragrance and taste full of reminiscences of the whole Barolo area. The grape varieties grown here are Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto.

Cru Cannubi

Our vineyard is 2,8 hectares big and is to be found in the territory of Barolo facing south-east. It’s here that soils of Helvetian and Tortonian type from different geological eras blend together giving birth to the Barolo Cannubi, typical for its intense fragrance and great structure.

Cru Brunate

The vineyard of 2 hectares is on the border between the villages of Barolo and La Morra, facing south-east. Here you can find the old farmhouse ‘La Brunata’ that has been part of the winery since the early days. Our Barolo Brunate has great body, excellent fragrance and is full of elegance and softness. A captivating and full taste thanks in part to well balanced tannins.
