2021 Pio Cesare Barolo
ABOUT THE WINE
Produced from Nebbiolo sourced across several esteemed vineyards in the Barolo appellation, this wine reflects a blend of sites that contribute to its balance, complexity, and consistency. The 2021 vintage shows precision and energy, with notes of red berries, orange peel, dried rose, and hints of tobacco and leather developing with air.
Traditional vinification methods are employed, including extended maceration to extract structure and aromatics, followed by aging in large oak casks and some smaller barrels. This approach preserves the purity of Nebbiolo while allowing gradual integration of tannins and nuanced oak influence.
While already expressive, this Barolo is built for aging and will evolve over 10–20 years, gaining additional layers of complexity. It pairs beautifully with braised meats, truffle dishes, mushroom risotto, and aged cheeses, all of which complement its structure and savory profile.
