While Dolcetto rules the estate, it only takes one sniff of this wine for you to immediately get the sense that Nicoletta would kick a whole lot of ass if she were a Barolo winemaker. Half of the fruit comes from a friend’s prime holding in Serralunga d’Alba, while the balance is sourced from an estate parcel in Dogliani. The long 30-day maceration in large vat allows for all of the character of the terroir to present itself, and the result is a wine of power and depth. You could buy Cappellano Barolo at 4-5 times the price, but the smart money (and us) are drinking this!
