Pio's Barbera is a wine quite different from many other Barbera. This is because the Barbera grapes are grown alongside the Nebbiolo grapes. This, combined with the extensive barrel ageing, results in a wine with the strength & wild energy of a Barbera, but the refined elegance of Barolo. Pio Cesare Barbera is a unique Barbera full & brave, yet soft & supple. Pio Cesare Barbera has an intense ruby colour with garnet reflections. The bouquet is distinguished & vital, with fresh, ripe fruit. The palate is clear & definite, with hints of ripe pulpy fruit, cherry, & notes of chocolate, frame with a long & pleasant finish. The grapes come from selected vineyards in the villages of Monforte & Castiglione Falletto & from grapes in Pio's vineyards in the villages of Serralunga & Treiso. The fruit undergoes a careful selection to eliminate all imperfect grapes. The vintage takes place around mid-October, just a little before that of Nebbiolo grapes for Barolo & Barbaresco. Fermentation takes place for 10 to 12 days at a temperature of 24-25 degrees. Ageing occurs for two years in French oak casks of various sizes (25 to 55 hl) & in a small French oak barrels. ...

Limited stock. A classic Barolo. Excellent structure & harmony, mild tannins & balanced fruit. It is immediately approachable, but it has a very long ageing potential. The Nebbiolo grapes used to produce Pios Barolo come from the family vineyards around the village of Serralunga d Alba. Pios own grapes account for about 70% of production, & they also source grapes from the most favourable areas in Castiglione Falletto & Monforte, the same stock they have used for the last hundred years. The grapes from Serralunga give a full body, those from Castiglione Falletto offer an ethereal & tempting nose, & the fruits from Monforte provide class & a refined nature. The harvest is the foundation upon which we build the Barolo. Each grape is hand selected, a long, slow process that can take up to three weeks, during the end of October & the beginning of November. Next the grapes are soft pressed & fermented at 25 to 26 degrees & in contact with the skins for 20 to 25 days. There is a long maturation in French oak, well beyond the terms imposed by the DOCG in order to give their Barolo its personal mark. The colour is an intense glossy garnet, with orange reflections. The bouquet is ethereal, with hints of violets, blackberry jam, licorice & cloves. The palate is dry & austere, with a lingering hint of almonds. ...

This is a classic Barolo, with excellent structure & harmony, mild tannins & balanced fruit. It is immediately approachable, but it also has a very long ageing potential. The grapes are sourced from family owned vineyards in Serralunga d' Alba (Ornato), Grinzane Cavour (Gustava), La Morra (Roncaglie) & Barolo-Novello (Ravera). The balance of the grapes comes from other exclusive vineyards owned by growers, who have been providing grapes to the Pio Cesare family for generations. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks, with skin contact for about 20 days. The wine is aged in mid-toasted French oak for three years: 70 percent in 20 to 50 hectolitre casks; 30 percent in barriques. ...
