Pio Cesare
Between Alba’s old town and the rolling Langhe hills, Pio Cesare has shaped a house style since 1881 that marries heritage with exacting cellar work—and treats Barbera with the same seriousness as Nebbiolo. Sourced from carefully chosen parcels across several villages, the fruit is hand-picked, yields are restrained, and each lot is followed with patient precision to keep the terroir’s line intact.
In the historic cellar built into ancient city walls, élevage is tailored: large botti for breadth and longevity, with selective barrique where structure calls for it. Long macerations, gentle extraction and time are the quiet tools here. The result isn’t about show; it’s about continuity—a Piedmont signature drawn in clean contours, confident and enduring, the kind of craft that only a multi‑generation family estate can sustain.Pio Cesare
