The Cappellano estate has its roots in a family history of growers who have cultivated, over time, a close attention to the land, careful vineyard management, and an artisanal philosophy capable of combining local roots with curiosity toward new interpretations of flavor. The production philosophy is expressed through slow, measured work: careful grape selection, minimal intervention, rigorous fermentation control, and an aromatic phase that allows Barolo Chinato to emerge without losing the elegance of the base wine. The product’s distinctive elements are the balanced fusion between the Barolo base and the aromatic component, with cinchona bark and orange peel lending depth, and a quality that remains intact even in terms of drinkability: not a superfluous additive, but a flavor texture that invites a thoughtful tasting moment. The aromas open with a bouquet alternating balsamic, citrus, and gentle spice notes, while the palate offers a soft structure, a rich silky sensation, and a subtle bittersweetness that never tires, extending into a clean, long, nuanced finish. Within the Cappellano range, Barolo Chinato holds a leading role as an aromatically pronounced interpretation of tradition, capable of accompanying aperitifs, after-dinner drinks, and convivial moments with discretion and balance. The combination of regional identity and artisanal production makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a distinctive product within the Barolo Chinato appellation, produced in the Piemonte, Langhe geographical area.

Cappellano is a family estate rooted in the area's historic vineyards, an authentic expression of a winemaking philosophy centered on terroir, patience, and artisanal work capable of combining tradition with a contemporary understanding of wine. This production philosophy is expressed through careful practices that prioritize respectful vineyard management, hand harvesting, and an aging process focused on limiting oxidation and integrating fruit, tannin, and spices. Otin Fiorin stands out for its balanced aromatic depth, where notes of jammy cherry, dried violet, and hints of forest floor meet nuances of pepper, licorice, and sweet spices, guiding the palate toward a velvety yet substantial texture. Its deep ruby color, with garnet highlights, heralds a complexity that unfolds on the palate in a weave of finely polished tannins, accompanied by lively acidity and a long finish that leaves traces of subtle minerality. In keeping with the Cappellano range, Otin Fiorin occupies a central role: it embodies the idea of Barolo as a great age-worthy wine while already offering a refined expression, suited to elegant gatherings or a guided tasting among friends, and capable of accompanying robust traditional Piedmontese dishes without losing freshness. The label and the estate's character converge in this bottle, which, despite its 0,75l format, conveys a mature, balanced, and long-lived vision, in line with the STELT positioning. At the table, Otin Fiorin is suited to a leisurely tasting or a structured dinner: brief decanting and serving at around 18°C enhance both its structure and aromatic refinement, making it ideal with braised meats, mushrooms, and aged cheeses, while offering an aging horizon that invites you to revisit the bottle over time.
