Pio Cesare Barolo is a classic and deeply characterful expression of Nebbiolo from one of Piedmont's most historic and respected family estates, founded in Alba in 1881 by Cesare Pio. Crafted from a combination of family-owned vineyards in Serralunga d'Alba, Grinzane Cavour, La Morra and Barolo-Novello, aged for three years in French oak, this is Barolo of real elegance, structure and longevity.

Why You'll Love It

Pio Cesare has been producing Barolo and other traditional Piedmontese wines for generations, with an unwavering focus on quality, site expression and classic winemaking techniques. Their Barolo draws from multiple prestigious vineyard sites across the appellation, blending them to create a wine of complexity and harmony that reflects the full character of the Langhe. This is Barolo in the classic style, built for the table and built for the cellar, from a producer who has been doing it longer than almost anyone.

Vineyard & Production

Sourced from family-owned vineyards in Serralunga d'Alba, Grinzane Cavour, La Morra and Barolo-Novello, alongside select grapes from long-standing grower partners. Grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks with around 20 days of skin contact to extract colour, tannin and aromatics. The wine is then aged for three years in mid-toasted French oak, 70% in large casks of 20 to 50 hectolitres and 30% in barriques, balancing structure and elegance.

Tasting Notes

Ethereal aromas of violets, blackberry jam, liquorice and cloves on the nose. The palate is dry and austere, with fine tannins and a lingering note of almonds on the finish. A wine of real depth, precision and classical Barolo character.

Perfect Pairings

A natural partner for braised meats, truffle dishes and mature cheeses. Also excellent with wild boar, slow-roasted lamb and hearty Piedmontese classics such as tajarin with meat ragu.
