Cappellano is a Cult winery located in the Barolo region of Italy, renowned for its staunch commitment to traditional winemaking methods and a non-interventionist philosophy. Founded in the late 19th century by Giovanni Cappellano, the estate is still family-run, with Teobaldo Cappellano's innovative spirit driving its success until his death in 2009. Cappellano is also known for its secretive nature, notably declining to submit wines for ratings, which has cultivated a cult following among wine enthusiasts.

Cappellano is a historic family-owned Piedmontese estate in Serralunga d'Alba, producing limited quantities of structured Barolo from their prized Gabutti cru vineyards, where calcareous clay soils shape their distinctive Nebbiolo expressions. The winery maintains staunchly traditional methods—employing long macerations and large Slavonian oak aging—while their principled stance against wine scoring systems has paradoxically enhanced their cult status among collectors seeking authentic connections to Piedmont's winemaking heritage.
