The 2007 Barolo is inviting, sweet and open, yet has plenty of underlying tannins to provide support. It shows terrific balance in a style that reconciles the traditionalist leanings of this bottling with the ripe quality of the year. Sweet hints of tobacco, spices, leather and herbs add complexity on the textured yet grippy finish. Pio Cesare’s straight Barolo doesn’t seem to get the attention or spotlight it deserves, but it has truly been one of Piedmont’s under the radar jewels for some...

winemaker's notes: This is a classic Barolo, with excellent structure and harmony, mild tannins and balanced fruit. It is immediately approachable, but it also has a very long ageing potential. The grapes are sourced from family owned vineyards in Serralunga d'Alba (Ornato), Grinzane Cavour (Gustava), La Morra (Roncaglie) and Barolo - Novello (Ravera). The balance of the grapes comes from other exclusive vineyards owned by growers, who have been providing grapes to the Pio Cesare family for generations...

- Tar and roses are the two descriptors most associated with this red grape grown, almost solely, in Italy's Piedmont, where it has achieved fame under the guises of the incredibly and age-worthy wines of Barolo and Barbaresco.

Pio Cesare limits its production...

A good colour here, fairly dense, with a tinge of orange-earthy maturity to what is otherwise a vibrantly coloured wine. A complex nose, with truffle oil, mushrooms, five spice and slightly woody black fruits. A delicious palate, as it has fine balance apparent immediately on entry, combined with some body and texture. Flavours of macerated red and black fruits, tar, hung game and rose petals, backed up by some firm, woody tannins, and quite appropriate acidity. This is a fluid, complete and harmonious...
