Product Notes

The Pio Cesare Barolo wine is a lustrous gem from Piedmont, Italy, embodying finesse and grandeur. It exhibits an elegant ruby red hue that's akin to flaming rubies, adorned with a taste spectrum of cherry, dried fig, and a splash of truffle. A subtle hint of spice coupled with delicate tannins crafts a well-rounded palate. This wine has a divine lingering finish of earthy undertones and is renowned for its remarkable ageing potential. Its enchanting complexity paired with game or robust cheeses makes Pio Cesare Barolo a perfect tincture for connoisseurs seeking a sophisticated wine experience.

Tasting Notes

A classic style Barolo. Excellent structure, harmony, elegance. Soft tannins and balanced fruit. Approachable, but with a very long ageing potential. Barolo is such a great wine which should not be described as a “basic” or “regular” Barolo, simply because it does not have any additional indication on the label.
