Cappellano, Barolo Pie Rupestris, 2012
A cult Barolo from a house that refuses to play the game: Cappellano works in tiny quantities, declines ratings and marketing, and farms the old way. Pie Rupestris comes from Nebbiolo on Rupestris rootstock in the Otin Fiorin parcel of the Gabutti cru, Serralunga d'Alba, and is 100% Serralunga in its severe, authoritative, austere-yet-generous character. The 2012 was a solid, classically styled vintage of balanced structure. Still youthful, it rewards patience - give it cellar time to let the formidable Serralunga tannins resolve.
