Fine and Rare Collection
Cappellano Otin Fiorin Pie Rupestris Barolo pours an intense ruby color with classic garnet highlights and immediately draws you in with a beautifully layered bouquet. Ripe cherry and strawberry aromas give way to refreshing balsamic notes, sweet spices, forest floor, and delicate violet florals. On the palate, it’s powerful and structured, with firm tannins beautifully balanced by concentrated fruit, vibrant energy, and a long, consistent finish. Elegant yet austere, this is classic Barolo at its purest—perfect for slow contemplation or paired with game, braised meats, and richly flavored dishes that can match its depth and intensity.
Cappellano Description
Cappellano Otin Fiorin Pie Rupestris Barolo is a true expression of Serralunga, capturing the essence of its bold and authoritative character. This paradigmatic Barolo exudes an austere yet generous nature, unfolding with layers of liquorice, juniper, tar, balsamic notes, exotic spices, and earthy undergrowth. Each sip tells a vivid story of the land, a narrative shaped year after year by the estate’s unwavering commitment to natural winemaking and an uncompromising dedication to authenticity. Evolving beautifully over time, this Barolo is built for longevity and tradition, making it a perfect match for aged cheeses, truffle-infused dishes, or slow-braised meats. Let it breathe, take your time, and enjoy a glass that speaks of history, terroir, and craftsmanship.
Wine Advocate
The 2006 Barolo Rupestris opens with a beautiful ruby hue and delicately ethereal tones of licorice, dark fruit, chopped mint and dried ginger. The Rupestris line famously comes from a small vineyard that was grafted to foreign rootstock some 60 years ago. The wine holds its own with elegant and silky sensations backed by a long, menthol finish. This is a pensive, melodic and profoundly beautiful wine that lasts long on the palate. The polished finish resonates like the last chord of music in a long symphony. Keep the wine ten years at least. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2038.
