A sweet, floral, slightly tangy nose presents notes of cherry blossom, raspberry, potting soil, citrus peel and pepper. The fruit notes deepen on a palate of cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry jam and blood orange, as tannins grip at the edges of your tongue, before acid lifts a cool, peppery finish. 

The Barolo offers dark red cherry aromas with notes of leather and earth. It’s round and full on the palate with good depth of flavor and rich extract on a long finish. It’s a blend across 7 vineyards in 5 villages with the Ornato vineyard in Serralunga the single most important source.

The Pio Cesare Barbaresco Pio opens with the scent of fresh red cherries and raspberries with a note of underbrush. It’s mouthfilling and balanced with a firm backbone, round approachable tannins and a long, focused finish. Sourced from four different vineyard sites, including the high altitude, south-facing Il Bricco at 425 meters altitude.
