Cappellano produces legendary, absolutely compelling old-school Barolos.
In terms of longevity, Cappellano's Barolos boast a structure that can keep stride with the great distance runners of Piedmont, like Conterno's Monfortino and Giacosa's Red Label.

Pie Rupestris comes from the Gabutti vineyard in Serralunga d’Alba. The area is known for producing powerful and intense Barolos. The signature of Cappellano's Rupestris is certainly its muscle, but that's only half of the story.
Beyond all else, Rupestris is profoundly soulful with an elusive depth of earth, mushrooms, stones, and bruised herbs. For all of its brawn, it's the layers of flowers, dark fruit, and soil that define Rupestris.
The 2018 is an imposing Barolo. It has an intricate structure and nuance that promises an impressive evolution over many decades.
As always with this wine, I should warn you that quantities are modest. It's very likely that we'll have to allocate.
