this is the cuvee that explains it

This wine is a true testament to the finesse

with earthy tannins and a whisper of wildness that speaks to its natural roots

a blend of roughly 80% Friulano and 20% Ribolla Gialla drawn from the same old parcels as his flagship

the 2021 possesses notable energy and tension to play off its natural richness

Giuseppe Rinaldi, Barolo Tre Tine, 2021 CALICOUNT0125 this is the cuvee thatThree plots, one wine, zero shortcuts. Tre Tine literally means 'three vats,' for the three lots Ravera, Cannubi San Lorenzo and Le Coste that go into it Rinaldi's old school answer to Barolo's single vineyard arms race, and proof that a blend can be the most characterful bottle on the table. It's the estate's most immediately savory Barolo: sour cherry and dried rose, tea leaf, salt and iron, with tannin that's firm but willing to talk to you early.
