Pio Cesare Barbaresco

Vineyards

From our family vineyards in Treiso (Il Bricco, San Stefanetto and Bongiovanni) and in San Rocco Seno d'Elvio (Rocche di Massalupo). This wine has been always and traditionally produced by our Family from grapes coming from different locations within the Barbaresco appellation. This is the classic "formula" used by the ancient Barbaresco families to produce a wine which embraces and combines each of the unique characteristics of the different vineyards and terroirs of the Barbaresco area.

Vinification

In stainless steel tanks. Skin contact for 25–30 days

Ageing

In oak "botti" for about 30 months; a small amount in French barriques.

Notes

A very classical style Barbaresco: elegance and velvety, with ripe and spicy fruit. Strong tannins, but elegant. Good structure and concentration. Very long life. Barbaresco is a great wine-it should not be described as a "basic" or "regular" Barbaresco, simply because it does not have any additional indication on the label.
