The Story

Augusto Cappellano has a friend in Roero who owns vines and had joked for years, "These grapes would taste so much better made in your cellar"--so, beginning in 2021, they finally made it happen. Augusto produces roughly 4,000 bottles per vintage from his friend's vineyard, from Barbera planted in the zone's characteristic white, sandy soils.
