NR – (his wines are only given tasting notes and NEVER allowed to be scored)

Drinking Window 2023 - 2028

The 2021 Barbera d'Alba marries juicy dark fruit with quite a bit of supporting structure. Black cherry, gravel, menthol, licorice, spice and mocha build nicely. The 2021 is deep and mysterious, but also a bit rustic in its contours, with less finesse than is typical of the estate Barbera here. Many years ago Baldo Cappellano asked me not to score his wines, so all Cappellano wines show up on our database as NR. - By Antonio Galloni on November 2023

Time seems to flow at a different pace at Cappellano, and yet there is plenty going on. The Cappellano Barolos remain some of the most classically ethereal, nuanced and elegant wines in all of Piedmont. I never miss a chance to drink them. As a reminder to our readers, many years ago Baldo Cappellano asked me not to score his wines, so all Cappellano wines show up on our database as NR.
