Giuseppe Rinaldi, Barolo Tre Tine Size:12x750ml 2014 was one of thoseThe pretty 2011 Barolo Tre Tine shows elegance, fullness and cheerful generosity of fruit. The wine represents a blend of Nebbiolo harvested from the Cannubi S. Lorenzo, Ravera and Le Coste vineyards. Cherry and blackberry aromas rise to the front with lingering tones of smoke, crushed granite and licorice at the back. Barolo Tre Tine shows silky but firm tannins and balanced acidity. This classic style will last long in your cellar.
