Product description
En Primeur Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata Francesco Rinaldi will be available for delivery or storage once it lands in the UK, usually two years following the en primeur offer.
This traditional estate was established in 1870 when Francesco Rinaldi inherited a vineyard and house in Barolo. With holdings in some of Barolo’s most prized Crus, including Cannubi and Brunate, Francesco Rinaldi has become one of the most famous names in the region. Brunate (which lies on the border between La Morra and Barolo) and Cannubi are, without a doubt two of Barolo’s greatest vineyards. Wines from the Brunate vineyard are prized for their depth, fragrance and brilliant balance, while those of Cannubi are magically light and perfumed. Located in the town of Barolo itself, the winery uses traditional techniques (avoiding new oak, preferring long macerations, and ageing in large Slavonian oak prior to bottling) to produce some of Barolo’s greatest wines.
The estate is now run by Luciano Rinaldi’s niece, Paola Rinaldi, with help from her sister Piera Rinaldi and the wines are better than ever. Antonio Galloni rightly states that “Rinaldi remains a terrific source for reasonably priced, classically built Barolos steeped in tradition.”
En Primeur pricing is per case as specified and excludes UK duty and VAT, which will be charged at the prevailing rate when the wine is released from bond for delivery. Bonded storage is available. Onward delivery or transfer is not included and can be quoted for on request. Free delivery on orders over £100 does not apply to bonded or en primeur wines.
