Cappellano Otin Fiorin Pie Franco Barolo is a stunning expression of Nebbiolo, showcasing a dark, translucent hue and deeply expressive notes of dark cherries, warming spices, and a hint of cough syrup. Though deceptively medium-bodied, this Barolo is crafted in a powerful style that leans more toward palate sensation than aromatics, yet it never loses its sense of purity, nobility, and impeccable structure. It's a bold and elegant wine, perfect for pairing with hearty dishes like braised short ribs, truffle risotto, or aged cheeses.
Cappellano Description
“Pie” means foot — or root. “Franco” refers to France — these are 20+ year-old vines planted by Cappellano without grafting onto American rootstock — in French this would be Franc de Pied — a pre-phyloxera type of vine. This is the Michet clone of Nebbiolo, which enjoys low yields and particularly intense aromas and flavors.
