Pio Cesare, Barolo 2017

Pio Cesare

Case Format: 3x75cl

Max score: 95.0

Pio Cesare is a wine producer in Piedmont, Italy, particularly known for its elegant Barolo and Barbaresco wines.

The fruit comes from a small selection of the oldest Nebbiolo vines in their 10ha family-owned vineyards at the Mosconi, in Monforte d’Alba, one of the most prestigious areas of the entire Barolo region, very well known for great complexity, elegance and longevity. This wine has been produced in very small quantities since the 2015 vintage. Supple, ripe fruit, complexity, soft tannins. May be appreciated immediately, but with a very long life.

Solid and muscular. Not too tannic and great now!

Now in its third vintage, this is the newest member of the extended Pio Cesare family. With fruit from the village of Monforte dAlba, the 2017 Barolo Mosconi hits that sweet spot somewhere on the continuum between elegance and power. Perhaps this hot vintage (and its 14.5% alcohol content) inches a little closer to the side of power, but it does so in a most understated and graceful manner. The wine shows the freshness and lifted fruit that is normally associated with this special vineyard site.
