The 2019 Pio Cesare Barbaresco D.O.C.G. is a classic and elegant Piedmont Nebbiolo crafted by one of Italy’s most historic and respected producers. Sourced from top vineyards in Barbaresco, the wine reflects the refinement, structure and ageing potential that define this iconic appellation. The nose is beautifully layered, revealing wild strawberry, cassis and red cherry alongside dried rose petal, black tea, licorice, cedar and subtle earthy spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky yet firm tannins, vibrant acidity and remarkable balance. Notes of pomegranate, leather, tobacco and mineral complexity flow into a long, savoury and age-worthy finish. The style is refined and traditional, offering power and structure with elegance and finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent introduction to premium Barbaresco for customers who enjoy structured, cellar-worthy reds such as Burgundy, Barolo or top Cabernet blends. Perfect with truffle pasta, braised beef, roast duck, mushroom dishes or aged cheeses. Drink now with extended decanting or cellar over the next 10–20 years for greater complexity and development.
