Barbera wine is often fruit driven with good acidity and nearly no tannins. Making the wine wine a perfect match with light meat and even white fish.
Rinaldi who is based in Barolo is a very traditional wine maker and is well recognised for his big sturdy Barolos although he makes small quantities of Barbera and Dolcetto. His wine need time to develop and should be drunk after som bottle ageing. Barbera should be drunk young, but when Rinaldi is the creator of the wine I am not sure.
His Barbera from 2008 showed the normal gorgeous red purple colour with a smell of cherries, beetroot and leather. The taste was fullbodied and fruity but with a rather strong acidity screaming for matching food.
Impossible to drink without anything to match thats for sure.
Some wine critics say its one of the best Barbera that exists but I find that hard to believe due to the enormous acidity. I rather spend the same amount of money on a Barbera by Cappelano, although both of them are regarded as pricy.
Barbera d'Alba 2008 by Rinaldi solid stuff but too pricy and acidic
