this is the cuvee that explains it

Giuseppe Rinaldi, Barolo Tre Tine, 2021 CALICOUNT0125 This is youngThree plots, one wine, zero shortcuts. Tre Tine literally means 'three vats,' for the three lots Ravera, Cannubi San Lorenzo and Le Coste that go into it Rinaldi's old school answer to Barolo's single vineyard arms race, and proof that a blend can be the most characterful bottle on the table. It's the estate's most immediately savory Barolo: sour cherry and dried rose, tea leaf, salt and iron, with tannin that's firm but willing to talk to you early.
