Incredibly rare bottle of Barolo 1958 by Dott. G. Cappellano, one of the most important winery of the Langhe region. The estate was founded in 1870 and it gained prominence in 1889, having featured at a Paris wine exhibition at a time when French producers were threatened by the spread of phylloxera. In the early 1900s, Cappellano was well known as the inventor of Barolo Chinato, the fortified wine made from Nebbiolo and infused with quinine bark and spices. Things deteriorated after World War II, however, and the vineyards were sold off to other Piedmont producers. In the 1970s, Teobaldo Cappellano began to reestablish the family name. He focused on a much smaller scale and bought 4ha (10 acres) of land with prominent parcels of vineyards in Gabutti. He also implemented traditional practices including the use of indigenous yeasts and aging in big oaks, rather than smaller French barrique. This vintage is considered as the best of the decade by critics, capable of incredible bottle aging. Very good general conditions as visible in photos, only the vintage label is slightly damaged. Kept in our cellar at controlled temperature and humidity. International insured shipment.
