The 2019 Barolo Piè Franco has the same glorious, pure fruit of the Rupestris, but with more acid bite and stronger floral/savory top notes. Focused, taut and driving in feel, the 2019 exudes energy from start to finish. Rose petal, blood orange, sage, mint and crushed red berry fruit all run through this beautifully sculpted, vivid Barolo. This is a superb example of the classicism of the year. Many years ago Baldo Cappellano asked me not to score his wines, so all Cappellano wines show up on our database as NR.
