2019 Cappellano Barolo "Pie Rupestris", Piedmont, Italy
ABOUT THIS WINE
The Cappellano Barolo "Pie Rupestris" is sourced from the iconic Gabutti vineyard in Serralunga d’Alba, one of the most renowned terroirs in Barolo. The vineyard's clay and limestone-rich soils give this wine its intense structure and age-worthiness. The 2019 vintage benefits from meticulous vineyard practices and traditional winemaking techniques, including a long maceration period and aging in large Slavonian oak casks, which allows the wine to develop complexity while maintaining its classic Barolo character. This Barolo has remarkable aging potential, making it an ideal wine for collectors, but it can also be enjoyed in its youth with hearty dishes such as braised meats, game, or truffle-infused pasta.
