Cappellano - Barolo 'Pie Franco-Michet' DOCG - 2013

The 2013 Barolo Piè Franco has a bit more tannic spine and energy than the Rupestris tasted alongside it. Fresh, brisk and beautifully delineated, the 2013 has been nothing less than utterly exquisite on both occasions I have tasted it recently. If the past is any indication, the 2013 will almost certainly gain volume with further time in bottle I wouldn't dream of touching a bottle any time soon and imagine the 2013 will still be striking several decades from now. Readers who can find the 2013 should not hesitate. Antonio Galloni, vinous.com
