"Cappellano’s 2010 Barolo Otin Fiorin Piè Franco is eternal in its beauty. Impossibly fine tannins caress the palate as the 2010 captivates all the senses. The 2010 has no real beginning and no end; rather is a wine of almost impossible profoundness. Rose petal, mint, cinnamon, hard candy and red stone fruits are woven together in a fabric of incredible sweetness, perfume and silkiness. The flavors are a bit brighter and more lifted than they are in the Rupestris. Readers who can find the Piè Franco should not hesitate, as it is clearly one of the wines of this great vintage."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
In Italy's northwest, Piedmont is home to Nebbiolo, the grape behind the powerful, perfumed and long-lived reds of Barolo and Barbaresco. Fog-shrouded hills and calcareous soils define its greatest wines.
The 'King of Wines,' a powerful, tannic and perfumed Nebbiolo from Piedmont's Langhe hills, celebrated for tar-and-roses aromatics and extraordinary aging potential.
Produces pale but powerfully tannic and perfumed reds with tar, rose and cherry notes. The grape behind Barolo and Barbaresco, it is among the most age-worthy in the world.
