Reviewed April 2026A transparent ruby hue, the 2022 Barolo Brunate Le Coste combines refined depth with a sense of weightless beauty. Aromas of black raspberries, polished flowers, graphite, and alpine herbs lift from the glass. Medium-bodied, it carries slightly broader shoulders on the palate, with notes of blood orange, cranberry, and redcurrant. The blend is roughly 80% Brunate with the remainder from Le Coste, whose sandy soils contribute finesse and aromatic lift. Brunate was among the vineyards most affected by drought in 2022, and production was roughly half of normal, yet the wine retains striking complexity and balance. Drink 2027-2047. 7,000 bottles were produced.

Decanter
From 46-year-old vines, Brunate demonstrates the most backbone, depth and density of the estate’s Barolo trio in 2022. An evocatively territorial nose suggests brushwood, hazelnut and pressed rose, while the palate follows with black raspberry and wild strawberry. It's wonderfully in tune with the fruit, the tannins are quietly commanding though still not massive, and exotic ginseng tea emerges on the finish. This vineyard was seriously weakened by frost damage in 2021 and severe drought in 2022, leading the Rinaldi sisters to pull out the lower two-thirds following the harvest.

Notes
This medium-bodied Barolo offers aromas of black raspberry, flowers, graphite and alpine herbs. Blood orange, cranberry and redcurrant enliven the palate, supported by firm, composed tannins. Combining fruit from Brunate and Le Coste, it balances depth with aromatic finesse and a sense of lightness. Best enjoyed from 2027 through 2047.
