Barolo Piè Rupestris 2015 DOCG - Cappellano

Barolo Piè Rupestris 2015 – Cappellano

Cappellano is one of the most uncompromisingly traditional wineries in Serralunga d'Alba, founded in 1870 and tied to the history of Barolo Chinato. Teobaldo Cappellano, who died in 2009, was famous for refusing scores and guides; today the estate is run by his son Augusto, with the same philosophy and allocations reserved for a few clients.

Piè Rupestris comes from the Otin Fiorin vineyard, within the Gabutti cru. The name refers to vines grafted onto rupestris rootstock, as opposed to the famous Piè Franco, from ungrafted vines in the same vineyard. In the cellar: native yeasts, long macerations, ageing in large oak casks, no fining or filtration.

2015, a warm and even vintage, produced a full Barolo that remains austere at heart: liquorice, juniper, tar, balsamic notes and forest floor, with dense tannins and a long finish. A classic Serralunga to cellar for a long time yet, for lovers of Barolo without compromise. With braised meat, game and aged cheeses.
