Pietro Rinaldi, Barbaresco (Piedmont, Italy) 2009

Jul 18, 2012

By Michael Franz

 This was the darkest of a flight of notably dark wines tasted "blind" this May at Nebbiolo Prima in Alba, and it followed through with deep, intense flavors that were very engaging and impressive.  It will need time to unwind more aromatic complexity, but there’s no doubt it will do so.
