Description
Nebbiolo, Pio Cesare, Langhe DOC, Piemonte, Italy, 2019
100% Nebbiolo, hand-picked from a selection of family owned vineyards across the Langhe region, aged in medium-toasted French oak for 24 months: 20% in barriques, 80% in 20-50 hectolitre casks.
Fragrant, ripe, raspberry and cherry fruit with floral rose touches. Rounded, silky and well integrated tannins give this wine structure and longevity. The wine is rich, with a hint of gentle, smoky toasting.
"This is a pretty wine with lots of energy and a bright, tonic personality. Perfect for lean cuts of veal or pork, the Pio Cesare 2019 Langhe Nebbiolo offers a straight-shooting succession of easy fruit aromas, cassis, rose and pencil shavings. It’s all delivered over a lean-bodied mouthfeel."
91/100 points, Monica Larner, WINE ADVOCATE, August 2022
Ideal with steak tartare, truffle, mushroom dishes, duck, guinea fowl, veal, braised beef, cheese.
