The 2009 Barolo Vigna Cappella di S. Stefano is a very different wine from the two Barolos above. The wine starts mildly, but revs up steadily in the glass. As it does, it imparts dried berry nuances, licorice, ginger, cola and garden herb. It presents a beautifully rich and dark color with long, silky tannins on the finish. This wine exudes elegance and grace from its inner core. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. Importer: Vignaioli Selection, New York, NY; tel. (216) 863-03095

The 2008 Barolo Vigna Cappella di S. Stefano saturates the palate with layers of intensely perfumed dark red fruit. Flowers, mint and licorice appear later, adding considerable complexity. The Cappella di S. Stefano is suave, seductive and totally impeccable. Dazzling, expressive aromatics are a constant thread that is woven throughout. This is all polish and finesse, despite the full-bodied style. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2026. Importer: Vignaioli Selections, New York, NY; tel. (212) 686-3095

The 2007 Barolo Vigna Cappella di S. Stefano is another huge wine. It combines the power of the Roul with the delineation of the Big. The wine fleshes out beautifully on the mid-palate and through to the finish, showing off a dramatic, sweeping expression of Nebbiolo that is breathtaking. The wine continues to gain volume in the glass. The French oak is present, but there is more than enough fruit to provide balance. The S. Stefano is a dark, brooding Barolo that begs for cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2032. Importer: Vignaioli Selections, New York, NY; tel. (212) 686-3095

Dark, inky extraction opens this Barolo and segues to bold aromas of mature berry fruit and spicy oak renderings. The wine feels plush, rich and generous in the mouth but the tightness and astringency of the tannins suggest that this wine will be ready in 5–10 years. ——M.L.(9/1/2011)—— 93

The 2006 Barolo Vigna Cappella di Santo Stefano flows with wild cherries, new leather, licorice and smoke in a rich, sumptuous expression of this pristine hillside vineyard. The French oak is a little more in evidence here vis-a-vis the estate’s other 2006 Baroli. The Santo Stefano shows marvelous density and richness, but will require quite a bit of patience. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2031. Proprietor Rodolfo Migliorini has another set of gorgeous wines on his hands with these 2006 Baroli. A house style built on textural richness remains very much in evidence, but in recent years the overt oakiness the wines once showed has come down, allowing the estate’s vineyards to show more of their true and highly unique voices.
