Product Description:

"The wines of Cappellano (Cappellano Dr. Giuseppe) are like that rare animal you may, or may not see no matter how thoroughly you search the jungle, the prairies or whatever its natural habitat may be. You don’t see bottles of this cult Barolo in the wine shops of Alba and most of the exported production immediately falls into the hands of collectors and die-hard enthusiasts. Thanks to a strict traditionalists’ philosophy, Cappellano’s unique expressions of Barolo are among the most celebrated in the Langhe. The artisanal approach adopted by the late Teobaldo Cappellano embraces elements of the natural wine philosophy within a greater sustainable farming ideology. In keeping with his father’s wishes, Augusto Cappellano does not send samples to wine guides and he asks all of those who tastes his wines to refrain from assigning numerical points." -Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.
