Nebiollo · Piedmont
97 points from Antonio Galloni.
“Mascarello's 1979 Barolo Monprivato offers up spice cake, plums, prunes and tobacco. Both bottles are not quite as fresh as others I have tasted. To be sure, this is a relatively compact vintage, but at its best the 1979 is still a delicious, fresh Monprivato with at least a few more years of fine drinking ahead of it.”
“Big, flavorful and full-bodied, packed with ripe cherry and blackberry flavors seasoned with anise and a touch of earthiness.”

Giuseppe Rinaldi is an Italian producer in the Piedmont sub-region of Barolo, the source of some of the most revered and valuable Nebbiolo-based wines of Italy. The Rinaldi family has generations of wine-related history in the region, originally selling grapes to the pioneering Falletti family. In 1870, the Rinaldi family started a winery, but Giuseppe Rinaldi branched out and bought his own, along with plots in some of the best vineyards in Barolo in the 1920s. Rinaldi's grandson, also Giuseppe, took over the estate in 1992.
Giuseppe Rinaldi represents staunchly traditionalist views on winemaking that have brought the estate into conflict with the Barolo Consortium. Most significantly, the estate has always maintained that the best wines from Barolo have always been blends from several sites, rather than the currently fashionable single-vineyard expression.
Ever outspoken, Giuseppe Rinaldi died in September 2018 at the age of 69. His wife Annalisa and his two daughters, Marta and Carlotta (winemaker and viticulturist respectively) now run the estate.
