This venerable estate in Serralunga d’Alba dates from 1870, when Filippo Cappellano amassed substantial acreage thee and started the winery. Today it is in the hands of Augusto Cappellano, representing the fifth generation to make wine from these vineyards. The ten acres of vineayrds owned by the family are principally in Serralunga d’Alba and are supplemented by a small parcel in the neighboring village of Novello from which Cappellano produces his Nebiolo d’Alba (how the family has always spelled it, with one “b”). This is the estate’s principal Barolo, at least in terms of quantity produced. It is invariably highly praised as a true and honest representation of the Gabutti vineyard from which it is sourced: it shows earthy, truffled aromas married to a full-bodied, occasionally rustic character backed by rugged, classic tannins. The Barolos of Serralunga are known for their generosity and warmth, and this “Rupestris” is perhaps as fine an example as one can find.
