Barbera d'Alba DOC Pio Cesare
« Pio Cesare »
The Barbera grapes from the Barolo and Barbaresco areas give our Barbera exclusive characteristics of full structure, fleshiness, complexity, softness, hints of very ripe fruit, spices and a long life.
Pio Cesare was born in 1881 and today with about 70 hectares of vineyards with vineyards located in different areas of Barolo del Barbaresco. The production varies between the "Classici" Nebbioli, the "Single-Vineyard". The Pio Cesare Winery is one of the few remaining in the historic center of the city of Alba.
Built at the end of the 18th century, it is crossed and bounded by the ancient Roman walls of Alba Pompeia, which form its foundations and are visible in every corner of it. It is located on 4 different floors, one of which is even below the level of the Tanaro river. The naturally constant temperatures and the right degree of humidity have been decisive for the style and quality of the wines over the years.

Our Barbaresco is the result of the careful selection of Nebbiolo grapes from vineyards owned by our family, located in different positions within the Barbaresco area: in Treiso (Cascina Il Bricco, San Stefanetto and Bongiovanni) and in San Rocco Seno D 'Elvio (Rocche di Massalupo).
A Barolo with a classic style, full-bodied and elegant, with structure and harmony, with soft tannins and the right fruit, austere but persuasive. Very long life.
Spicy, savory, medium-bodied, but with a great fragrance. Excellent with fish. It should be served slightly chilled.
