Cappellano, Barbera d'Alba 'Gabutti' 2020

Cappellano belongs in Barolo’s most rarefied air. Like Bartolo Mascarello, Baldo Cappellano was a legendary figure who both represented the old-school and brought the region to new heights. And like at Mascarello, the wines have only gotten better since the new generation took the helm in the early 2000s. A new, very limited batch of Augusto Cappellano’s wines arrive in a couple weeks.

From the same vineyard as their Barolo, Cappellano’s barbera is always exceedingly scarce.
