After a division in 1916 Giuseppe Rinaldi founded the Azienda Agricola Giuseppe Rinaldi. Son Battista Rinaldi was one of the first graduates of the School of Viticulture in Alba. During his time as Mayor of Barolo from 1970 to 1975, he founded the Enoteca Regionale di Barolo and was its first president. Beppe Rinaldi succeeded his father as a winemaker in 1992, giving up his trained profession as official veterinarian. After his death in 2018, the business is continued by his two daughters Carlotta (diploma in agronomy - vineyards) and Marta (studies in oenology - cellar techniques and agronomy).
