Drink 2018-2038, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Nov 2017
A silkier, more refined expression of Nebbiolo emerges from the 2000 Barolo Otin Fiorin Piè Franco. With its lifted aromatics, mid-weight structure and impeccable overall balance, the 2000 Franco is sublime. Like the Rupestris, the Franco is still a very young wine. Amazingly, unlike today, these Barolos were very easy to source when they were first released. As always, Cappellano asks that his wines not receive numerical ratings.
