To drink Cappellano is to step outside the modern rhythm of Barolo. No scores. No marketing sheen. Just a deeply personal vision carried forward with humility and conviction. Pie Rupestris, from ungrafted vines in Gabutti, Serralunga, is the purest articulation of that vision—made without compromise, and with no intention to flatter early.

The 2010 vintage speaks with quiet gravity. There’s depth, yes—but it’s not the depth of extraction or oak. It’s the kind that comes from time, from restraint, from letting the vineyard shape the wine on its own terms. The tannins, still present, have begun to relax into something more meditative. The wine no longer announces itself—it listens, it lingers, it remembers.

This is not a wine for quick notes or quick evenings. Pie Rupestris is a slow wine. One that lives more in the space between flavors than in the flavors themselves. It rewards attention, but never asks for it.

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."
