Cappellano
Nebiolo d'Alba
Alba, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Super rich and fruity while maintaining elegance and complexity. Way beyond a normal Nebbiolo d'Alba.

Nebbiolo at its highest, most accessible expression. Weightless and persistent. Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee...

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.

Nov 6th, 2020Nice transparent deep red. Well saturated nose of wet autumnal forest. A little tannic grip to the palate still, fairly dark fruit profile, dark cherry, some dark chocolate bitterness and balsamic notes. First Cappellano for me, not the last and unlikely the best.

2012 is still tight. Needs air to show its stuff. Terrific.
