Pio Cesare's Barolo is the result of a careful selection of Nebbiolo grapes from vineyards owned by our family, located in different positions within the Barolo area: in Serralunga d'Alba (Cascina Ornato, La Serra and Briccolina), in Grinzane Cavour (Gustava and Garretti), in La Morra (Roncaglie), in Novello (Ravera) and, from the 2015 harvest, in Monforte d'Alba (Mosconi).
THE WINE:
A very classic style Barolo: elegance and finesse, ripe and spicy fruit, important but not overpowering tannins, good structure and concentration. Very long-lived. Pio Cesare's Barolo is not a "basic" Barolo, but has always represented, as per tradition, the most faithful expression of the various great terroirs of the Barolo area.
VINIFICATION AND REFINING:
Vinification In steel. Maceration on the skins for about 30 days at rather high temperatures. REFINING In French and Slavonian oak barrels for about 30 months and a small part in barriques.
