Pietro Rinaldi Barolo 2020 (750mL)

Nebbiolo grown in the hills of Barolo, in Piedmont's northwest, gives one of Italy's most structured red wines, and this 2020 from Pietro Rinaldi works in that tradition. The grape is known for its pale garnet color that belies a firm grip of tannin and bright acidity, along with the aromatics (rose, tar, dried cherry) that have long defined the region. A wine built to reward patience, though it offers plenty to consider now.
