Winemaking Style

For Pio Cesare, being traditional means remaining faithful to the style its wines have shown throughout the years, one harvest after the next. Fourth-generation proprietor Pio Boffa has led his family‘s charge into modern winemaking with an approach of minimal intervention, creating wines of supple flavor expression.

Following an exhaustive selection of grapes down to the single berry, the techniques employed in the cellar include shorter maceration, separate lot fermentation, judicious selection for barrel and large cask aging, and bottling schedules determined by the ideal structure of each wine.

This allows Pio Cesare to supply wines of varying weight, ageability, and drinkability all at once as determined by the vineyard rather than current trends.
