Augusto Cappellano crafts wine of notable personality and character. A recent tasting back to 1935 (that is not a misprint) reinforced just how special these wines can be, although I should add the vast majority of those wines were made by Cappellano's late father and grandfather. I will report on that tasting very soon. In the meantime, the 2012 and 2013 vintages are both strong here. The 2012s are softer wines that should drink well with only minimal cellaring, while the 2013s will need more time. In 2013 Cappellano opted for shorter fermentations than normal and little or no post-fermentation maceration because the skins were fragile. The 2013s are brilliant, understated Barolos built for cellaring. Since 2012, Cappellano has reduced the amount of time his wines spend in cask by a year in order to preserve greater freshness. Sadly, production remains tiny. Cappellano prefers that his wines not receive numerical ratings, hence their absence here.
