A wine that lives up to its promise: the Pio Cesare Barbera d’Alba is an explosion of ripe cherries, juicy red fruit, and elegant spiciness.

With its ruby red color and violet sheen, it is already a feast for the eyes. Moreover, its location next to the famous Barolo vineyards gives it extra intensity and depth. Speaking of Barolo, try the Pio Cesare and the Ornato BaroloToo
On the nose, aromas of cherries, plums, berries, and violets entice, framed by vanilla, chocolate, and subtle smoke. On the palate, a powerful yet lively style: juicy fruit, fresh acidity, and soft tannins hold everything in perfect balance. The finish is long and complex, with a touch of elegance typical of Pio Cesare.

Since 1881 it has belonged Pio Cesare among the icons of Piedmont. From the historic cellars in Alba – built on Roman foundations – the family has been continuing the tradition for five generations. Today, the estate owns 45 hectares in the best vineyards of Barolo and Barbaresco.
For the Barbera d’Alba, grapes are harvested in October and vinified with careful skin maceration of 20–25 days. This is followed by 12 months of aging in French oak, with a subtle use of wood that allows the grape to take center stage.
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.
