Reviewed May 2017(Cappellano prefers numeric scores not be published for his wines) The more ethereal side of the vintage comes through in the 2011 Barolo Otin Fiorin Piè Franco. Silky, lifted and gracious, the 2011 Franco is a wine of aromatic intensity and grace. Drink 2019-2036 (AG)
Notes
According to the Winery: "In the second half of the 1980s, Teobaldo Cappellano put into practice what many regarded as folly, namely the decision to grow in the Gabutti vineyards some rows of ungrafted nebbiolo Michet, the system in use before the adoption of American graft after the diffusion of the Phylloxera. A 'backwards evolution' to borrow Teobaldo’s own words, guided by the desire to somehow return to the true Barolo and to the idea of purity; but also, a homage to grandfather Giovanni who spent the finalt years of his life in Africa trying to understand whether the adoption of the new system was inevitable"
