Tasting notes
The 2015 Barolo Rupestris is a classic Rupestris built on texture, volume and resonance. Of course, the 2015 still needs quite a bit of time in bottle to come together, but it is wonderfully deep and fleshy today. Hints of dried flowers, sage, mint and crushed raspberry develop in the glass, but more than anything, the Rupestris is a wine of breadth and resonance. The 2015 marries hedonistic pleasure with classicism in a wine that is truly compelling. (11.2019) - vinous.com
Ample and beautifully textured, Cappellano's 2015 Barolo Rupestris is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine. Dark cherry, raspberry, plum, spice and rose petal are all vibrant in the glass in an exuberant, racy Barolo. I imagine the 2015 will be even better once some of the baby fat has melted away, but it is incredibly compelling and delicious, even in the early going. (11.2018) - vinous.com
