Barolo

1969 Barolo Nebbiolo

Cappellano Barolo, a splendid vintage from 1969, showcases the remarkable character of Nebbiolo from the prestigious Barolo region. This red wine is full-bodied with a pronounced level of acidity, contributing to its vibrant and lively palate. The fruit intensity is notably prominent, revealing layers of dark cherry and ripe plum, alongside rustic notes of leather and earthy undertones. Tannins in this wine are high and structured, providing an impressive backbone that enhances its aging potential while offering a firm grip on the finish. As a dry wine, it perfectly embodies the traditional hallmark of Barolo, making it a timeless choice that reflects both the terroir and masterful winemaking.

Italy

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
