From the historic Pie Franco vineyard in Barolo, Cappellano’s Otin Fiorin 2007 is a wine that expresses both power and elegance, showcasing the unique characteristics of the Michet clone of Nebbiolo. Known for its small berries and intense concentration, the Michet clone imparts a distinct quality to this wine, giving it both structure and finesse.

The nose offers an inviting bouquet of dark fruit—blackberry, black cherry, and plum—complemented by the perfumed notes of dried roses, violets, and a hint of licorice. As the wine breathes, earthy undertones of tobacco, leather, and spice begin to emerge, adding layers of complexity. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with velvety tannins that create a smooth, refined mouthfeel. The acidity is well-balanced, supporting the rich fruit and earthy notes, while the finish is long, with lingering dark fruit and a distinct mineral quality that speaks to the Barolo terroir.

This wine pairs beautifully with braised meats, truffle dishes, or aged cheeses. While it’s drinking wonderfully now, Cappellano’s Barolo Otin Fiorin - Pie Franco 2007 has the depth and structure to continue evolving for years, revealing even more complexity as it ages. A truly exceptional Barolo, this wine reflects both the heritage of the estate and the potential of the Pie Franco vineyard, making it a standout in the world of Nebbiolo.

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."
