Pio Cesare Barolo | 2021 | 750ml

About This Wine

This is Pio Cesare's classic Barolo, blended from Nebbiolo grown in several family-owned vineyards across the appellation, including sites in Serralunga d'Alba, Grinzane Cavour and La Morra. The family believes the blend gives a more complete picture of Barolo than any single site.

Pio Cesare was founded in 1881 by Cesare Pio and still works from its historic cellars in the centre of Alba, the only Barolo producer based inside the town. The fifth generation, Federica Boffa and her cousin Cesare Benvenuto, now run the family's roughly 75 hectares in Barolo and Barbaresco.

Serving

Serve at 60 to 65°F, and decant young bottles for an hour or two. Pairs with grilled beef or venison.

About Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo pairs delicate red fruit and floral aromatics with a firm, tannic, long-lived structure. Its cool Piedmont home sharpens its tannic, aromatic profile.
