In 2005 three fellows born & raised among the vineyards of the Langhe - Gianmatteo 'Jimmy' Raineri, Fabrizio Giraudo, and Luciano Racca - started Raineri Winery. This was meant to be a small project focused on the production of Dolcetto from the famous Dogliani area, however, the friend's passion and respect for wine and its cultural tradition in the region pushed them to expand shortly after inception. Along with Dolcetto, they craft Barbera, Nebbiolo and even Barolo from vineyards located in Monforte d’Alba. With the help of their families, and generous advice from wise producers, they were able to fulfill their dream of making classic wines of Piedmont.

The wines are shaped under a guiding, shared philosophy. Manual work for absolute care of each grapevine; wine let to age in barrels made with only the best oak; and daily barrel sampling to learn and engage in the wine's evolution.

Opening up with aromas of small dark berries and plums complimented by lingering scents of cracked black pepper and notes of heather. The mouthfeel offers medium weight along with soft tannins that underscore the bright, fruity flavours. Lingering notes of clove and fennel extend into the pleasing finish. 

Easy-going and incredibly versatile, this Barbera is your go-to when in doubt! If you want to experience pure bliss then sip this wine alongside your favourite pizza pie.

At the beginning of the 1900’s the Nuti family bought a small plot of land in a locality known as “La Regola”, in the town of Riparbella, (a place name found in the Florence land register dating back to the 1700’s), to produce a small amount of olive oil and wine for family consumption. From the small cellar under the house, which was called "cillieri", the first production of the "La Regola"  was born. After three generations in 1990, Luca the eldest son, obtained a degree in agriculture, deciding to transform the small family wine production into a company structured winery and began to plant other vineyards and market the first bottles.

In addition to the cultivation of native vines such as Sangiovese and Vermentino, the company has added French white and red grape vines to their production, among which Cabernet Franc is a stand out. This Tuscan blend offers an inviting nose of vanilla and currents opening into a very berry-driven palate with extended notes of  blackberries, dark cherries and figs. The wine closes with notes of dried herbs and ground coffee, sculpted by building tannins. 

Pour this alongside roasted red meats, Fiorentina steak and aged cheeses (4-6 yrs).
