One Word on the Label

Barolo Otin Fiorin "Franco" 1995 (Vigneto Storico Gabutti) · Piedmont, Italy · tasted 12 August 2026

Before the label said Piè Franco it said only Franco, for three vintages. This is the second of them: ungrafted Nebbiolo from the Gabutti parcel that Teobaldo Cappellano planted when everyone told him the phylloxera would take it. Thirty-one years on, the wine was wide open and still had something in reserve.
