Description

The 2024 Pio Cesare Barbera d’Alba DOC is a classic Piedmont red made from 100% Barbera, sourced from vineyards with a mix of limestone, clay, marl and sandy soils. The nose shows ripe plum, blackberry and dark cherry, complemented by violet, peppery spice and subtle earthy notes.

On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with juicy dark fruit and Barbera’s naturally vibrant acidity, balanced by a rounded texture and fine structure. Around 12 months in large French and Eastern European oak, with a small portion in French barriques, adds gentle spice and complexity before a persistent, fresh finish.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Barbera drinkers who enjoy generous fruit, lively acidity and savoury Italian character. Enjoy it now or cellar over the next 5–7 years as further complexity develops. Ideal with beef ragù, wood-fired pizza, roast pork, grilled meats, salumi or aged cheeses.

About the region

Piedmont · Alba

Piedmont, or Piemonte, sits in Italy's north-west under the Alps. Its great grape is Nebbiolo, which ripens late, is often picked in autumn fog, and reaches its fullest expression in the Langhe hills at Barolo and Barbaresco. Those wines are pale and firmly tannic when young, and turn to tar, dried rose and truffle with age. Alongside them Barbera and Dolcetto supply the everyday reds, and Moscato d'Asti the sweet, lightly sparkling whites.
