1975 Barolo – G. Troglia – Cappellano (Piedmont, Italy)
A fully mature, classical Barolo that favours perfume and finesse over power. Brick-garnet with a broad tawny rim, it opens on lifted aromas of dried cherry and cranberry, rose petal and violet, with cedar, leather and sweet tobacco, plus a gentle tar/balsamic lift. Mid-weight and savoury on the palate: lively, old-world acidity carries red-cherry fruit, dried herbs and subtle undergrowth; tannins are fine and resolved. The finish is long and tapering with cherry skin, cedar spice and dried flowers.
Producer note: Cappellano is one of Barolo’s historic traditionalists (Serralunga), famed for long cask ageing and restrained, aromatic wines; “G. Troglia” indicates an older bottling/merchant designation tied to that classic house style.
Serve: 16–18 °C. Stand upright 12–24 hours; very gentle decant for sediment just before pouring.
Food pairing: Roast chicken with herbs, tajarin with butter and sage, porcini risotto, aged pecorino.
