Tasting Notes: The 2008 Cappellano Barolo Pie Franco comes from one of the decade's most structured and precise vintages in Piedmont — a cool, classic year built for exceptional aging. Pre-phylloxera ungrafted vines add a dimension of wild mineral intensity, iron and Alpine florals to the wine's core of dried cherry, tar and rose petal, with a long, tightly coiled finish that signals years of further development ahead.
Estate History: Cappellano is a historic family estate in Serralunga d'Alba with roots stretching back to the 19th century. Run by Augusto Cappellano and now carried forward by his son Teobaldo, the estate has remained fiercely devoted to traditional Barolo winemaking — long macerations, no temperature control, and large Slavonian oak casks, with no compromise on method or philosophy. The Barolo Pie Franco is sourced from one of the last surviving parcels of pre-phylloxera ungrafted Nebbiolo in the world, making each bottle a living piece of viticultural history.
