Tasting notes
The 2015 Barolo Piè Franco is ethereal and elusive, as the best vintages of this wine tend to be. Freshly cut flowers, dried herbs, spice, sweet red cherry and kirsch are all beautifully lifted here. Silky tannins add to an impression of total grace in a very pretty, nuanced Barolo that is so captivating. All of the elements just come together effortlessly in the glass. The 2015 is a classic Piè Franco built on nuance and understatement.
More reviews and scores
All the best elements of the Cappellano house style come together in the 2015 Barolo Piè Franco. Specifically, the 2015 Franco has a level of textural depth that plays off the more perfumed, lifted notes that are so typical of this wine. Silky, aromatically deep and striking in its beauty, the 2015 Piè Franco is a gorgeous Barolo from Augusto Cappellano. The long, sublime finish leaves a lasting impression. In a word: Dazzling.
