Intense ruby red with garnet reflections, the 2020 San Cristoforo Barbaresco opens with aromas of withered rose, violet, and enticing balsamic and mineral notes. On the palate, this Barbaresco shows a vibrant core of black cherry, dried red berries, and subtle dried herbs, alongside hints of wet stone and bark. The structure is full-bodied yet elegant, boasting velvety tannins, lively freshness, and a long, warming finish - perfect for those who appreciate finesse and depth in Nebbiolo.
Producer
Located just 5km from Alba in Piedmont, the Pietro Rinaldi estate brings together over four generations of winemaking tradition. Now run by Monica Rinaldi and Paolo Carlo Tenino, the winery stands out for producing only estate-grown wines from their meticulously farmed 10 hectares, focusing on sustainable practices that yield expressive, terroir-driven bottles. New investments in cellar technology and precise vineyard selection ensure the wines express purity, character, and a sense of place, all while remaining true to the heart of Piedmont’s heritage. The San Cristoforo vineyard’s southeast exposure and calcareous-clay soils give their Barbaresco a remarkable aromatic finesse and structure - making the winery exceptional in combining tradition with modern craftsmanship.
