Pio Cesare Barolo DOCG: elegance and complexity. A true excellence of Piedmontese wine production. A wine born from the careful selection of Nebbiolo grapes from different areas of Barolo, resulting in a label of great complexity and longevity. Only vineyards owned by the family, located in particularly suitable areas on limestone-clay soils. After manual harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and gently crushed. This is followed by a slow fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with maceration on the skins for about 30 days. This is followed by maturation for 30 months in French and Slavonian oak barrels, and partly in barriques, enhancing the wine's aromatic profile and making it soft and velvety. Barolo DOCG di Pio Cesare has an intense garnet red colour with orange reflections. The nose opens with a complex and enveloping bouquet, with hints of ripe berries, sweet spices, vanilla, cocoa and liquorice. In the mouth, however, the wine is full and structured, with silky tannins and a lingering, harmonious finish. Its structure and complexity make it ideal with red meat dishes, game, mature cheeses and pasta dishes with meat sauce. Also try it with mushroom risottos or with white Alba truffles. Winner of numerous international awards, this Barolo DOCG is a wine of great longevity that can be stored for over 20 years.

This years's relases are poignant as Pio Boffa recently passed away. This is the estae's classic Barolo, porduced with Nebbiolo grapes located in the top plots across different communes since 1881. The wine is floral, focused on violet and rose, with a blood orance touch, yet a darker fruit and chocolatery flavour. Firm, extracted and rugged at the present, with a good but austere finish, it will age gracefully. (blind tasted by Aldo Fiorerdelli)

With fruit from the village of Serralunga d'Alba, the Pio Cesare 2017 Barolo Ornato exhibits a richer textural style and more concentrated fruit flavors compared to all the other Nebbiolo-based wines in this portfolio. Dark cassis and blackberry segue to black licorice and tarry smoke. Those signature hints of rusty nail, earth and candied orange peel that are so specific to this village are also quite evident. The wine shows structure and depth that will help it withstand extra cellar aging. (Monica Larner)

For about 21 days, small pieces of bark from China Calissaia and China Succirubra are left to macerate in an infusion of alcohol and a very small amount of our "classic" Barolo. We then add a mixture of aromatic spices including gentian root, rhubarb, cardamom seeds, sweet and bitter orange, cinnamon and others, which make up our "historic" Family Recipe.

Mosconi is a MGA that is often picked late and so could possibly have benefitted from the warm and dry 20017 vintage. This example from Pio Cesare is focused on elegance with lifted, concentrated aromas and flavours of orange peel, strawberry jam, rose and a touch of smoke, which all become intoxicating on the palate. This great intensity and concentration are supported by firm, muscular tannins and an assertive finish, combined with crisp acidity. Rarely in this 2017 vintage do we find tihs combination of fruit weight and strenght of strucutre. (blind tasted by Aldo Fiordelli)
