Drink 2025-2042, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2021
In 2017, Cappellano's Barolo Piè Franco is back to being a wine of pure and total sensuality. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry, mint, chalk and white pepper are some of the many notes that grace this ethereal, elusive Barolo. The 2017 is the sort of wine you want to spend an entire afternoon immersed in. Hints of rosewater, kirsch, mint and dried autumn leaves linger.

Cappellano
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.
