Francesco Rinaldi Barolo

Francesco Rinaldi e Figli, founded in 1870 in Barolo, is one of Piedmont’s most celebrated traditional estates. Francesco Rinaldi established the winery after inheriting a vineyard and house, leaving behind work at the Mirafiore estate. The family shares deep ties with Giuseppe Rinaldi, another iconic Barolo producer, and both have upheld the region’s classic winemaking style alongside legends like Bartolo Mascarello. Today, the estate is run by Paola and Piera Rinaldi, producing age-worthy wines using long macerations and large Slavonian oak barrels. Their single-cru Barolos from Cannubi and Brunate vineyards are considered among the finest expressions of Nebbiolo in Barolo.
