Tasting notes
The 2018 Barolo opens to ripe aromas of dried plum and tobacco. This vintage lacks some of the complexity of a cooler growing season, but these results are far from monochromatic. Those tobacco aromas cede to cedar, earth, forest floor and hints of shaved truffle.

About this wine
Pio Cesare is one of Piedmont's most respected producers, with a legacy built on traditional winemaking excellence in the heart of Italy's Barolo region. This full-bodied red wine is crafted from Nebbiolo grapes, the noble variety that defines Barolo DOCG. Known for its firm tannins and rounded structure, this wine exemplifies the region's commitment to producing age-worthy, complex reds that balance power with elegance.
The Barolo appellation is renowned for its challenging terroir and strict quality standards, resulting in wines of remarkable depth and character. Pio Cesare's philosophy emphasizes respect for the vineyard and patience in the cellar, allowing the wine to develop its signature earthy, mushroom-forward complexity. At 14% ABV, this is a sophisticated expression of Nebbiolo terroir.
Pair this elegant Barolo with rich meats including beef, lamb, and venison, or with aged cheeses such as Cheddar and blue cheese. It also complements mushroom-based dishes, truffles, charcuterie, pizza, and tomato-based preparations with aromatic spices. A fine choice for discerning collectors and those seeking authentic Italian wine for luxury entertaining.
