Cappellano Otin Fiorin Pie Rupestris Barolo is pure Serralunga at heart—an iconic expression of the region, known for its commanding presence and profound depth. This Barolo is both austere and generous, offering a unique personality that is as bold as it is welcoming. On the nose and palate, it unveils a captivating array of aromas and flavors: think licorice, juniper, tar, balsamic hints, warming spices, and earthy undergrowth. Each vintage tells a vivid story of the land it comes from, made even more compelling by Cappellano's steadfast commitment to natural winemaking and an uncompromising, authentic approach. This is a wine that evolves with time, carrying the soul of tradition and the promise of longevity. Pair it with hearty truffle risotto, aged cheeses, or a slow-braised lamb shank to fully appreciate its complexity and charm.

The 2016 Barolo Rupestris is unbelievably delicate. A Barolo of haunting beauty, the Rupestris is endowed with sneaky concentration that reveals itself only with time in the glass. Potent tannins and bright acids give the Rupestris fabulous energy. Readers should be prepared to cellar the 2016 for a number of years. It is one of the most reticent young vintages I have ever tasted here. Dried cherry, mint, cedar, dried flowers and sweet pipe tobacco linger on the sinewy finish.
