Cappellano's 2001 Barolo Pie Franco, made from the Michet clone on ungrafted rootstock, is one of the region's most unique, quirky cult wines, and is a must-have wine for anyone who loves traditionally made Barolo. It displays an extraordinary, captivating nose redolent of balsamic and spice notes. As it sits in the glass layers of finesed, deeply expressive fruit gradually emerge, revealing a massively structured wine of superb length as well as personality, with fine tannins to round out the finish.
“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.
