Tasting notes
The 2019 Barolo Piè Franco has the same glorious, pure fruit of the Rupestris, but with more acid bite and stronger floral/savory top notes. Focused, taut and driving in feel, the 2019 exudes energy from start to finish. Rose petal, blood orange, sage, mint and crushed red berry fruit all run through this beautifully sculpted, vivid Barolo. This is a superb example of the classicism of the year. Many years ago Baldo Cappellano asked me not to score his wines, so all Cappellano wines show up on our database as NR.
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.
