Wine Critic Reviews
Pio Cesare does a great job with its classic 2019 Barolo (in production since 1881). The bottom of the front label reads "Barolo Pio" in memory of the legendary Pio Boffa. He was a wine entrepreneur who gained the immediate respect and love of all those who knew him. He passed away tragically during the COVID-19 pandemic just as the vaccines were being rolled out. This is a large production of about 70,000 bottles with fruit sourced from across seven vineyards in five villages. Despite those ambitious numbers, the wine remains strictly focused on bright Nebbiolo fruit with red cassis and aniseed. The finish is smooth with tannins that elegantly dissolve over the palate.

Forest floor, new leather and camphor aromas come to the forefront along with a whiff of rose. Full-bodied and elegantly structured, the taut palate offers cranberry, cherry, star anise and sage set against firm, fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it bright and balanced. Give this a few more years to fully unwind and develop. Drink 2027–2039
