The Pio Cesare 2015 Barbaresco offers a mid-weight approach and a solid core of fruit. That dark fruit center is surrounded by supple but delicate tones of exotic spice, smoke, tar, licorice and crushed stone. This is a fragrant and elegant expression that drinks beautifully straight out of the gate. This is a classic Barbaresco with an easy and approachable personality. Production is 25,000 bottles strong.
Pio Boffa and his nephew Cesare Benvenuto purchased vineyards in the Mosconi cru of Monforte d'Alba a few years back. With the 2015 vintage, we get a first taste of their Barolo Mosconi, the newest addition to this estate's portfolio of wines.
