1978 Cappellano Barolo

Conversation stops once the 1978 Barolo is served. Almost impossibly deep in tonality and massively endowed, the 1978 shows why this is such a historic vintage in Piedmont. The late-ripening season produced powerful, towering Barolos that, if well stored, remain almost shockingly young. A host of dark, spice and balsamic-infused notes open up as this extraordinarily beautiful Barolo shows off its alluring personality. In my book, this is as good as wine gets. It’s as simple as that.
