2007 Cappellano, Barolo, Pie Franco 1x750ml

Vinous NR

Ample, deep and exquisitely layered, the Barolo Otin Fiorin Piè Franco-Michet is the most showy of the six wines in this first flight. The natural richness of the vintage is tempered by a classic expression of structure. An exotic mélange of dark cherry, plum, smoke and licorice build into the huge, explosive finish. What a wine! As good – not great – as the 2007 is, it is also nowhere near being ready to drink. [Antonio Galloni, 01/05/2017]
