🏰 The 2022 Giuseppe Rinaldi Langhe Nebbiolo, sourced from young vines in Ravera and Bussia, was bottled in February 2024 after 18 months in botti. This vintage, marked by a hot and dry season, presents a fruit-forward profile with some tarry spice, sweet flavours, and mild tannins. Critics have praised its beautiful fruit, classic Nebbiolo character, and notes of sour red fruit, cherries, pomegranate, cranberries, blood orange, licorice, rose petals, and mixed spices and herbs. It offers a fresh and delicate bouquet with ripe red fruits, cherry, raspberry, and subtle floral hints of rose and violet. The palate is harmonious, well-structured, moderately tannic, and pleasantly fresh, culminating in a long, savoury finish with lingering fruity notes. 【 Praised for its beautiful fruit and classic Nebbiolo character, often considered one of the best Langhe Nebbiolos. 】 🍴 This versatile red wine pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes. Consider classic Italian pairings like simple pasta dishes, especially those with meaty beef ragù or meat-filled agnolotti with roast sauce, where the wine's acidity and depth shine. It also complements roasted or grilled red meats, milder cuts of beef like tenderloin, slow-roasted pork, or whole roasted poultry. For vegetarian options, try roasted root vegetables, pumpkin risotto with crispy sage, or sautéed mushrooms on soft polenta. Aged cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano, or soft, creamy cheeses such as brie or full-fat feta, also make excellent companions. 🥂 The 2022 Rinaldi Langhe Nebbiolo is perfect for a sophisticated dinner party, a celebratory meal featuring rich Italian cuisine, or an evening where you want to enjoy a high-quality, expressive Nebbiolo that is already drinking well but also promises benefit from a couple more years of aging.
