Tasting notes

  

The Pio Cesare 2017 Barbaresco is subtle and fine in personality,

yet there is plenty of Nebbiolo elegance and complexity.

 Past vintages of this wine have shown enormous consistency when it come to their inner finesse 

and this hot, more challenging vintage is no different.

 That's quite an accomplishment on its own.  

Tart cherry and cassis segue to spice, campfire ash, tobacco and dried lavender flower.

 Perhaps the tannic power of the wine is more robust but not by too much. (Monica Larner)

Colour : Deep red.

Bouquet : Powerful and structured on the nose with notes

of ripe fruit and slightly spicy.

Flavour : Elegant with ripe and spicy fruit, great depth and complexity.

 The mild and ripe tannins provide this wine with gentleness and 

finesse but also strength and opulence.
