The 2011 Barolo DOCG Pie Franco by Cappellano is a wine that embodies the pure essence of Piedmontese winemaking tradition, crafted from the indigenous Nebbiolo grape variety. Hailing from one of Italy's most illustrious wine regions, this Barolo stands out for its complexity and depth. The 2011 vintage was marked by a warm season, allowing the grapes to ripen ideally, resulting in a wine of great structure and richness.
Upon opening, a seductive bouquet unfolds, enveloping the senses with aromas of withered roses, ripe cherries, and a hint of licorice. On the palate, the Barolo Pie Franco reveals itself to be powerful and enveloping, with silky tannins that work in perfect harmony with the acidity typical of Nebbiolo. Notes of tobacco and spices intertwine delicately, creating a sublime balance. The long finish, characterized by great persistence, invites the taster to savor each sip anew.
This wine pairs beautifully with rich and structured dishes, such as a Barolo braised beef or a selection of aged cheeses, but it is also perfect to sip on its own to fully appreciate its complexity. The careful vinification and the absence of filtration are a testament to Cappellano's environmentally respectful philosophy, aimed at enhancing the terroir of its grapes. With the Barolo Pie Franco 2011, each bottle tells a story, one of a unique terroir and a passion for wine that transcends time.
