Pio Cesare Barolo 2018
The Pio Cesare family have been producing traditional Piedmontese wines in their ancient cellars in the centre of Alba for since 1881. Ancient, because although the winemaking equipment is completely up to date, and the underground cellars fairly recently extended, the thick Roman walls are a clearly visible part.
Grape Varietals: 100% Nebbiolo
Wine Region: Barolo, Piedmont, Italy
Tasting Notes: This 2018 is beautifully balanced with a lifted perfume of red cherries, elegant on the palate, with well-integrated tannins. Gorgeous scented Barolo evocative of roses and violets and with the sweet but classy fruit and length of a lovely well-balanced vintage.
Food Pairing: Roast Veal
