The name of this estate is derived from the name of its founder, Cesare Pio, who set up this now long established family business in 1881. It remains in the family, with Pio Boffa, the great grandson of the founder, at the helm. The overall ethos is one of minimal intervention. They own almost 45 ha of vineyards, a large holding for the region which is dominated by small family firms owning small plots of land. This barolo is from a family-owned site near Serralunga d’Alba. Just released after 4 years of ageing
"Pio Cesare and the 2007 vintage marry beautifully to produce a layered, opulent, textured, rich wine that is bursting with zesty red fruit, sassy spice, leather and toasted
espresso bean. What really sets this wine apart is the
dense smoothness of its texture." 95/100 Wine Enthusiast
