A true expression of the Barolo terroir, this wine from Cappellano’s "Pie Rupestris" vineyard offers a captivating balance of intensity and elegance. Deep and layered, it unveils a symphony of dark fruit, including blackberries and plums, intertwined with earthy nuances of tobacco and leather.

On the palate, the tannins are firm, providing a robust structure, yet the wine’s texture remains silky, allowing the fruit to shine through. There’s a lovely interplay of freshness from the acidity and richness from the oak, offering depth without overpowering the natural flavors. The finish is lengthy, leaving traces of spice, dark fruit, and a mineral edge.

This Barolo pairs beautifully with roasted meats, wild game, or rich, earthy dishes like truffle risotto. Though it’s enjoyable now, it will only continue to improve with age, revealing more nuance and complexity over the years.

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."
