Piè Franco comes from ungrafted vines — a rarity in post-phylloxera Europe — making it one of Barolo's most distinctive and collected bottlings. The 2000 carries the additional weight of age.
Cellaring perspective
A mature Barolo from ungrafted vines, now in its drinking window but with years ahead. A bottle valued as much for what it represents as for what is in the glass.

About this bottle
Is this Cappellano 2000 authentic and how is its provenance documented?
This Cappellano Barolo, Piè Franco 2000 0.75L is held in professional bonded storage with documented custody. Its provenance is unbroken from release: the bottle has remained in professional custody, and condition is recorded.

How is the bottle stored and shipped?
The bottle is kept in temperature-controlled bonded storage and is not moved unless shipping is requested. It is held privately and not currently offered for release.
What does the fill level and condition tell you about this bottle?
Condition is read from the fill level (ullage), capsule and label rather than taken on faith. A bottle that has not left professional custody since release avoids the usual weak points — heat, movement and broken records.
