Drinking very well now. A bit of ripe fruit on the palate — a day ago

I rarely drink wines older than 20 years so as this one nears 50 years old I wasn’t sure what to expect. The cork was in perfect condition. Wine was amazing! Even after an hour in the decanter, it was pretty tight, wonderful acidity and subtle but distinctive fruit. A treat. — 7 months ago

This wine was utter perfection! Black and White pepper, stewed Bing cherries, White truffle, super reduced balsamic, day old roasted chanterelles, tannins are fully integrated, but acid is still lively — 3 years ago

Sitting out by the pool eating a wood fired Sicilian style pizza & drinking one of my favorite Barolo producers. This was open & seemed ready to go that had a dried, sour cherry, with sweet savory spice, balsamic notes, forest floor, tar, dried herbs, leather & rose petal. In a word Excellent! — 3 months ago

Quite an evolved reddy-brown colour, fairly transparent. Slightly high in acidity with a slightly feral, mustiness. Old school, and slightly unclean? On the palate is rose, violet and orange peel. It’s not as pleasing as the Barbera from the same vintage. — 9 months ago

Selected from the HSWM shelf to accompany the bevy of wines from Piemonte already at the table. I’ve been a huge fan of Cappellano’s Barbera d'Alba in the past and this certainly impressed, as I expected it would. It worked really well with the hangar steak but it was holding something back. We took the remaining half of the bottle home and the real fireworks show came on Day 2 paired with some homemade Bolognese that I made with some ground elk. Undergrowth, dark fruit, figs, dark tilled earth, cumin, spiced meat and what fantastic acid!! Tannins seem to be medium. Sediment appears to be medium plus…lol…there’s a lot. Yes, the price is steep for a "modest" Barbera but when you consider the overall quality and satisfaction, this absolutely delivers and absolutely worth it. — 3 months ago

Fairly transparent for Barbera and light in alcohol at 13.5%. Lovely bright nose, ripe of red cherry with a floral twist. On the palate it tastes quite evolved with a secondary profile that is very appealing. Could almost pass for a barolo. Probably best Barbera I’ve tried and better than the Burlotto Aves and Vietti Scarrone tried alongside. — 9 months ago
