Tasting Tips
Intense glossy garnet, with orange reflections. The aroma is ethereal, with hints of violets, blackberry jam, licorice and cloves. The flavour is dry and austere, with a lingering hint of almonds.
Winery
The Pio Cesare estate enjoys a long family tradition dating back to 1881. Throughout the generations the wines have been made to the same exacting family standards producing consistently excellent wines. Current owner Pio Boffa has inherited a history of commitment to quality and enhanced it further with the introduction of some modern techniques, like using barriques as well as botti in different proportions for his Barolos and Barbarescos, including the much awarded Barolo "Ornato" and Barbaresco "Il Bricco". Indeed, all Pio Cesare wines, including its Barberas and Dolcettos, are benchmark examples of their appellations.
