Deep within Barolo’s iconic vineyards, this wine is a true expression of Nebbiolo’s potential. The Otin Fiorin Pie Rupestris offers a combination of power and elegance, with layers of rich dark fruit, aromatic florals, and earthy depth.

Opening with dark cherries and ripe plums, it quickly transitions into the delicate fragrances of rose and violet, while earthy nuances of tobacco and leather provide a robust backbone. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins that create a firm structure, complemented by a refreshing acidity that lifts the fruit’s richness. The finish lingers with complex notes of licorice, dried herbs, and subtle oak, underscoring its evolving nature.

A perfect pairing for savory dishes like braised meats, game, or truffle-infused pasta, this Barolo promises to continue developing and evolving in the cellar, offering an exceptional experience for those who choose to age 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."
