R365
Sourced exclusively on hillside vineyards in select locations of the Gavi area that belong to families who have been producing their grapes for the Pio Cesare family for generations. Fermentation at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks and aged in stainless steel tanks with extensive lees contact.
Tasting notes:
'Fresh, clean and spicy aromas. Salty, with ripe fruit and rich, complex flavor. Great ageing potential.' – Winemaker
About Pio Cesare:
The historic family-owned Pio Cesare estate has been producing wine for 135 years, through 5 generations, in their ancient cellars in Alba. The cellars are built on the city’s 2,000-year-old ancient Roman walls. The family owns 70 hectares of vineyards, featuring high-quality hillside exposures, with parcels dotted around multiple communes of Barolo and Barbaresco. The current custodian, Pio Boffa, manages to combine the best of the old with the best of the new in classically styled, elegant expressions of the Nebbiolo grape.
