Pio Cesare excels when it comes to the classics, and this wine is one of those. The 2018 Barbaresco (released one year later compared to its peers) delivers some mild candied raspberry ripeness with lilac, tarry smoke, cedarwood and spice. The mouthfeel is silky smooth with softly integrated tannins.

About this wine
Pio Cesare stands as one of Piedmont's most respected family estates, with a legacy of crafting elegant, age-worthy wines from the region's finest terroirs. This Barbaresco DOCG is made from Nebbiolo, the noble grape that defines northern Italy's most prestigious red wines. Grown in the rolling hills of Barbaresco, the vineyard's limestone-rich soils and ideal sun exposure produce wines of remarkable complexity and structure.
This full-bodied red wine expresses the classic character of Barbaresco, silky tannins, vibrant red fruit, and subtle spicy notes that evolve beautifully with time. The warming, powerful nature of this Nebbiolo makes it an exceptional choice for rich dishes: pair it with lamb, beef, duck, or wild mushroom preparations. It also complements cured meats, aged cheeses like Camembert, and grilled vegetables. With 14.5% alcohol and the aging potential Barbaresco is known for, this is a wine for serious collectors and those seeking authentic Piedmont character.
