Year after year, the wines of Pio Cesare are recognized for their consistency and regional expression. From world-class Barolo and Barbaresco to crisp Cortese and sweet Moscato, the wines of Pio Cesare offer exceptional quality and variety. The grapes are sourced from family owned vineyards in Diano d’Alba, La Morra and in small proportions even from the classic Barolo area, together with other exclusive vineyards belonging to historical suppliers. Those suppliers have sold their grapes to Pio Cesare for generations and work their vineyards according to Pio Cesare’s direction and strict quality control. The wine undergoes temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation and 12 days of skin contact. It is aged 30 months in French oak, 20 percent in barriques and 80 percent in casks holding 20 to 50 hectoliters each. Intense and ripe berry fruit along with mild and almost sweet tannins give this wine structure, fragrance and longevity. The wine is rich, full-bodied, with a hint of gentle toasting.
