Cappellano is an Italian winery in Piedmont making high-quality Barolo wines in the Serralunga d'Alba commune. The Cappellano family was influential in Serralunga d'Alba, as well as in the greater Piedmont wine industry, and now the largest square in the parish carries their name: Piazza Cappellano. Cappellano's Barolos now command high prices and are highly collectible, as production is extremely limited. The company makes several other wines as well as its famous Barolos from Serralunga d'Alba, including a Barolo Chinato.
The Cappellano Barolo Otin Fiorin (Gabutti) Pie Rupestris 1998 is a distinguished expression of Nebbiolo from the renowned Gabutti cru in Serralunga d’Alba. Crafted with traditional methods, this Barolo showcases a long maceration process and aging in large old botti, resulting in a wine that is now fully mature. It presents a complex aromatic profile with notes of tar, roses, balsam, and orange peel, complemented by earthy nuances typical of the Serralunga terroir. The wine's structure features fine tannins and balanced acidity, making it an exemplary representation of classic Barolo. The estate's commitment to traditional winemaking is further highlighted by its tiny production and unique no-scores policy.
