Teobaldo Cappellano refers to his plots in the Gabutti vineyard as a “bonsai garden” so I was quite interested to tour the vines a few weeks before harvest. The vines that are grown from ungrafted rootstocks, which are used to make the Barolo Pie Franco, had some of the smallest nebbiolo bunches I have yet seen. In most vintages I prefer the Pie Franco but in 2001 both wines are well worth seeking out. The Barolos see nearly four full years of aging in mid-size oak casks and will require significant patience. Cappellano asks that his wines not receive numerical scores as he views ratings as divisive among producers.
