Tasting notes
The 2007 Barolo Otin Fiorin Piè Franco - Michet is a great example of the year. Sexy, pliant and racy to the core, the 2007 is a pure joy to taste and drink. It is not as complex as some of other vintages in this portion of the tasting, but it is supremely delicious and in the zone to offer maximum drinking pleasure.
More reviews and scores
Ample, deep and exquisitely layered, the Barolo Otin Fiorin Piè Franco-Michet is the most showy of the six wines in this first flight. The natural richness of the vintage is tempered by a classic expression of structure. An exotic mélange of dark cherry, plum, smoke and licorice build into the huge, explosive finish. What a wine! As good – not great – as the 2007 is, it is also nowhere near being ready to drink.
About the producer
Serralunga d’Alba’s Cappellano is one of Barolo’s most legendary producers, producing ultra-traditional styles of Nebbiolo. Made famous by Teobaldo and now in the hands of his son Augusto, the estate is best known for its Barolo Piè Franco, a wine from ungrafted vines in the Gabutti Cru.
