It's always a pleasure to sit down with Augusto Cappellano to taste the new releases. Both the 2016s and 2015s are typical of their respective vintages. In 2016, the wines are incredibly refined, while the 2015s are more overt. Over the last few years, Cappellano has made small refinements to his approach. The wines are made with a gentler hand and are bottled with two years in cask (as opposed to three), which really allows the purity of the fruit to come through. These remain some of the most human wines in Piedmont. Sadly, they have become very hard to find. For what it's worth, I drink them whenever I can. Years ago, Baldo Cappellano asked me not to rate his wines, so all Cappellano wines show up on our database as NR.

Barolo fans will find much to like and talk about in these four wines from Augusto Cappellano. The 2014s have turned out better than I had hoped. From barrel, both Barolos were a bit light, but time seems to have been a friend. I find more richness and completeness in the 2015s. Readers who can find the wines will likely want to cellar both vintages, if for no other reason to see how the wines age. Years ago, Baldo Cappellano asked me not to rate his wines, so all Cappellano wines show up on our database as NR.
