Cappellano’s 2020 Barolo “Piè Rupestris” is sourced from grafted Nebbiolo vines in the Gabutti cru of Serralunga. The vineyard’s limestone-rich soils and traditional farming yield a Barolo of depth and structure.

Made with extended maceration and aged in large Slavonian botti, it’s bottled unfined and unfiltered. The wine is savory and firm, with dried cherry, mint, rose, and a long, mineral finish. A benchmark of traditional Barolo.

What importer Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine...

This is the principal Barolo of the estate, at least in terms of quantity produced. The vineyard is the Gabutti cru and the exposure is south to southwest. After an extended fermentation and considerable aging in the classic “botte” of the region, the wine is bottled without filtration. The rhythm of the release is usually four to four and one-half years after the harvest. Stylistically, the wine is an honest and pure reflection of the terroir of this small but important cru: earthy, truffled aromas marry to a full-bodied, occasionally rustic character backed by rugged, classic tannins. The Barolos of Serralunga are known for their generosity and warmth and the “Rupestris” is as fine an example as one can find.
