Cappellano, Barolo Pie Franco, 2012
There is no Barolo quite like Cappellano's Pie Franco. The late, iconoclastic Teobaldo Cappellano planted Nebbiolo on its own ungrafted roots ("pie franco") in the Gabutti section of the Otin Fiorin vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba, going against everything conventional wisdom said about phylloxera. The wine, made traditionally with native yeasts and long aging in old botti, is one of the most coveted in Piedmont. The 2012 is a classic, balanced Serralunga vintage that should reward more patience than the 2011.
