The 1.5 Cappellano 2016 Barolo DOCG PieRupestris is a bold red wine that tells the story and passion of the winemaking tradition of the Langhe in Piedmont. This Barolo, a result of meticulous selection of Nebbiolo grapes, expresses the authenticity of the terroir thanks to a careful winemaking process. The 2016 harvest was characterized by ideal weather, resulting in rich and healthy clusters from which complex layers of aromas and flavors emerge.
On the nose, one is greeted by an intense bouquet, featuring notes of ripe cherry, wilted rose, and sweet spices, accompanied by hints of licorice and wet earth, which evoke the quintessential nature of this great wine. On the palate, the Barolo reveals itself to be full-bodied and structured, with present yet perfectly integrated tannins, offering a sensation of elegance and persistence.
Its 15% alcohol content adds warmth to the sip, making it ideal for long aging. It pairs beautifully with rich dishes, such as Barolo braised beef or truffle risotto, but is also perfect to enjoy on its own to appreciate every nuance. In its complexity, the Cappellano 2016 offers a unique sensory experience, a window into the beauty and winemaking culture of Piedmont.
