Pio Cesare
About Pio Cesare
Founded in 1881 and run since then by five generations of the family. This is traditional Piemonte producer making wine from ancient cellars in the heart of the old town of Alba. Pio Cesare is amongst the most historic wineries in Piemonte, and also one of the largest, with 75ha of vines across Barolo and Barbaresco.
Five generations of the family have been producing traditional Piemontese wines in ancient cellars. The growers have supplied to the family since their early years ensuring the consistently high quality of their Barolo and Barbaresco.
Pio Cesare is amongst the most historic wineries in Piedmont. Their long history of creating age-worthy, classic bottlings has made them “a "lighthouse" winery” in the words of the Wine Advocate, and it is hard to imagine a more steadfast producer within this most famous of Italian regions.

Vinous (90+)Good bright medium red. Plum, redcurrant, strawberry, mint, spices, earth and dried flowers on the nose, plus a whiff of leather. Tactile and rich, displaying good medicinal reserve to the flavors of red fruits, chocolate and herbs. Shows a slight dryness with air but this is not particularly austere. With its depth of flavor and dusty tannins, this is built to age. |

James Suckling (95)A dense and layered red with plums, dried orange and lemon peel and a long and flavorful finish. Beautiful. Such impressive layers and a fantastic finish. Very exciting. Love the length. Available in February 2019. Drink in 2020, but already beautiful. |

Vinous (95)The 2017 Barbaresco Il Bricco captures all of the natural intensity of this Treiso site, but in a less forced style than in the recent past, which is a very positive development for this historic house. Readers will find a potent yet well balanced Treiso Barbaresco that hits all the right notes. Macerated cherry, spice, leather, tobacco and menthol build into the potent finish. The 2017 is just gorgeous. |

Vinous (94)The 2018 Barbaresco Il Bricco is a worthy follow-up to the stellar 2017. Menthol, licorice, gravel, incense and a range of deeply-pitched spice notes open first, but it is the wine's overall depth that I find especially alluring. Racy and complex, yet so refined, the 2018 has a ton to offer. Best of all, it can be enjoyed with minimal cellaring. It's a gorgeous Barbaresco that captures the essence of Treiso. |
