The story of our vineyard begins with my great-great-grandfather, the notary Filippo Cappellano, a rich landowner with a passion for wine, who, at the age of 48, founded the company, bringing together 150 giornate piemontesi (corresponding to about 60 hectares) into one estate of farmland.

CAPPELLANO Pie Rupestris Barolo 2018.. When he died, his son Giovanni, an enologist, succeeded him in managing the company; he renovated the vineyard, and he built two hotels in Alba and in Serralunga, with all the best facilities available for the tourism of Liguria and Piemonte.

He created the famous “grape cure” in Serralunga, establishing a transport service by horse and carriage from the train station of Alba.

Tradition

“Over the years, for various reasons, we have found ourselves automatically grouped among the ‘traditionalists.’

We consider this label limiting only when paired with a misleading term like ‘conservative,’ but we do not reject it in its true sense—that of handing down and passing on knowledge and practices—values ​​we deem indispensable.

In practice, these principles translate into work that respects the land and what it yields.

The fundamental concept is one of gentleness, from the vine all the way to the bottle.”

The Cappellano family—like the Mascarellos, the Rinaldis, and other local producers—is one of those that has charted the course and defined winemaking in one of the world’s most exceptional terroirs.

Always shunning passing fads and modern interpretations, the Cappellanos have remained committed to the concept of wines that are, above all, wholesome and worthy of patient waiting.
