    Vintage character

    The current vintage shines with a ruby ​​red color and vibrant fruit expression. Critics praise the wine for its freshness, balance, and versatility: already delightful to drink, but also with aging potential. A textbook example of Barbera, and a worthy representative of the Pio Cesare name.
