The "Lost" Label. A Monument to Tradition. This is not just a bottle of wine; it is a piece of Barolo history that can legally never be produced again. Before the strict MGA regulations prohibited labeling a wine with two cru names, the legendary Giuseppe "Beppe" Rinaldi crafted his masterpiece by blending two distinct vineyards: Brunate (for power and structure) and Le Coste (for perfume and elegance).

This 2006 Magnum captures that historic blend in its purest form.

The Vintage: 2006 (A Classic) 2006 is revered as a "classicist's vintage"—powerful, tannic, and built for the long haul. While many modern Barolos fade after 15 years, Rinaldi’s 2006 is just hitting its stride. In this Magnum (1.5L) format, the wine has aged slowly and gracefully, preserving its energy and fruit.

Tasting Notes

  • The Nose: The textbook definition of traditional Barolo. Intense aromas of tar, withered roses, dark cherries, licorice root, and truffles.

  • The Palate: A harmonious clash of titans. The muscle of Brunate meets the finesse of Le Coste. The tannins are firm but resolving, supporting a core of savory, mineral-drenched fruit.

  • The Finish: Austere, noble, and incredibly long.

Why It’s a Unicorn

  • 🚫 The Forbidden Blend: The "Brunate - Le Coste" label no longer exists due to changes in Italian wine law. This bottle is a relic of the Beppe Rinaldi era.

  • 📐 Magnum Format: Large format bottles from Rinaldi are exceptionally rare and offer superior aging potential.

  • 👴 The Beppe Touch: Produced when the late Giuseppe Rinaldi was fully at the helm of the cantina.

Serving Guide
