Teobaldo Cappellano was one of Barolo's last great traditionalist winemakers. A legend among his colleagues and admirers, he was completely unapologetic and unwavering in his determination. The president of the influential Vini Veri (“true wine”) group, he famously banished all journalists from his cellar unless they agreed to review his wines without scores. He produced less than 800 cases of Barolo each year.

In the words of the winery - "It was the closing of 1870 when Giuseppe Cappellano, pharmacist of Serralunga d’Alba with a shop in Turin, perfected the original recipe of Barolo Chinato marketing as “medicinal and anti-malaric liniment” what would shortly after become one of the classics of Italian oenology. We talk of recipe and not of formula because this great aromatic wine for meditation is born out of artisanal wisdom, handed down in our family generation after generation, which has much in common with the knowledge of the land and countryside culture. The preparation is well-known ‒ the extract of china calissaia mixed with other aromatic herbs, sugar, and alcohol is added to the aged Barolo ‒ whereas the list of spices used for the aroma is secret. The equilibrium of contrasts, the gusto-olfactive complexity, and an endless persistence constitute the charm of a wine which is seductive as few others, capable of sustaining the nigh-impossible match with dark chocolate."
