Cappellano’s 2014 Barolo "Pie Franco" is a captivating expression of Nebbiolo, crafted from one of the most respected vineyards in Barolo. The "Pie Franco" vineyard, with its steep, well-exposed slopes and traditional farming practices, produces wines that embody both the power and finesse that Barolo is known for.

The 2014 vintage opens with rich aromas of dark cherries, blackberries, and dried roses, followed by earthy undertones of tobacco, truffle, and leather. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with firm tannins that provide structure, while the vibrant acidity ensures freshness and balance. The wine’s complexity deepens with age, with subtle spice and mineral notes emerging on the long, persistent finish.

This Barolo is an excellent pairing with roasted meats, game, or truffle-infused dishes. While it is already showing beautifully, the wine’s structure suggests it will continue to evolve and gain even more complexity over the next decade or more. Cappellano’s "Pie Franco" 2014 is a testament to the winery’s commitment to tradition and the exceptional terroir of Barolo, making it a standout choice for collectors and those who appreciate Nebbiolo’s full potential.

Serralunga is extreme. No village in Barolo produces wines of greater structure and longevity. We understand that has to do with its soils, as no village in Barolo has a greater concentration of limestone.

When dealing with such a lion of a terroir, it must be tempting to find a whip that will tame the beast. For a wine-maker, that could be barriques, or short macerations, or roto-fermentors. Those are the short-cuts.

Augusto Cappellano, like his father Teobaldo before him, does not take those short cuts. Partly, that's because he is just fine with structure and longevity. That is the natural product of Serralunga's special terroir, after all. Partly, it's because Augusto's extremely high-quality farming (the family has only four hectares so they can apply their natural farming methods assiduously to each and every vine) ensures that the grapes' tannins ripen properly, avoiding any of the harsh, bitter qualities that for years many assumed were also "natural."
