Drink 2017-2026, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2017
I have not had the best of luck with the 2006 vintage at Cappellano. Several recent bottles suggest the wines are evolving quickly. That is also the case here, where the 2006 Barolo Otin Fiorin Piè Franco-Michet does not seem to have the depth, intensity or overall pedigree of the best years. A recent bottle of 2006 Barolo Rupestris (in another tasting) was similarly uninspiring.
About the producer
Cappellano
Serralunga d’Alba’s Cappellano is one of Barolo’s most legendary producers, producing ultra-traditional styles of Nebbiolo. Made famous by Teobaldo and now in the hands of his son Augusto, the estate is best known for its Barolo Piè Franco, a wine from ungrafted vines in the Gabutti Cru.
