The wine
Pio Cesare's Barolo is a classic product which matures for over three years both in French oak barriques and larger barrels, ideally combining tradition and innovation. The result is a balanced wine, characterised by firm but measured tannins, a frank and ready interpretation of this extraordinary Nebbiolo. On nose it successfully achieves harmony between sweet notes of dried plum and jam and fresher notes, including balsamic and liquorice, while the taste is clean, refined and persistent, approachable in youth but extraordinarily fulfilling.
