About this wine

Grapes

Carefully selected Nebbiolo grapes are used, and the wine is produced only in the finest vintages.

Vinification

The grapes are dried naturally on mats at 500 metres above sea level. The dry climate, moderate winds and sunlight support the drying process and help shape the finished wine’s flavour. The grapes are then fermented.

Ageing

The wine matures for 15 months in new, lightly toasted French Allier oak barrels, followed by at least 12 months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Elegant, with a distinctive balance of flavour and aroma.

Serving and pairing

Decant before serving.

Label / history

Rainoldi was founded in 1925 by Aldo Rainoldi, son of Giuseppe Rainoldi, who exported wine and agricultural products to neighbouring Switzerland. The winery’s motto is “Wine as a culture!” It produces around 200,000 bottles annually.
