Cappellano & Giacomo Conterno

10/29/15 -

These two producers need no introduction from us! However, two notes:

Troglia was a wine merchant in Torino; some older friends in the region still remember them as having very high standards (the fact that they bought Troglia / Cappellano wines offers proof of this). I would assume that the Cappellano family felt the same way, since they sold finished wine to Troglia (in bulk, which Troglia then bottled) and permitted Troglia to put their name on the label, which in those days was not standard practice when producers sold their wine to merchants. Are Troglia bottles as good as Cappellano’s estate-bottled wines? My own experience tasting them is limited but has been positive, with memorably good Troglia wines from the 1950s and 1960s. And you get the very distinctive bottle!

We wish we had large quantities of these wines, and we are always very sorry when our customers are late to the party and can’t purchase the wine(s) they want. Jamie Wolff
