Barolo "Pie Rupestris", Cappellano - 2018

Item # 17409 750 mL

The Barolo Pie Rupestris – Nebioli, is from vines planted on American rootstock (Rupestris). It is not certain which particular strain of Nebbiolo was planted then and so the reference Nebioli refers to its unidentified clone. Deep in color and greater extraction than the Pie Franco, this wine is produced from an extraordinary plot of 60-year-old vines in the Gabutti vineyard. This library release is showing beautifully now, earthy with truffled notes and forest undergrowth. Cappellano's Barolo still needs a good decant to soften its rustic acidity and tannins.

Several other Piedmontese grapes make striking and delicious wines: Pelaverga produces light-colored reds with distinctive notes of strawberry, cherry, and pink peppercorn.
