Truly exceptional Barolo, one that exceeded my expectations. I'm glad I stumbled upon it, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great wine experience. It's a wonderful wine that will satisfy your cravings for a intense and deep flavor profile. The accents of leather, cherry, oak, tobacco, earthy-deliciousness, vanilla, and chocolate are all present, making it a truly outstanding wine. I'm grateful to Ralph Hochar for sharing it with me.

Wine that defies expectations, this 87/100 UNBELIEVABLE delivering is a true gem. Its humble origins in a car boot for a mere 3 euros only add to its allure. Stored in poor condition for a year, it's a testament to its resilience. The cork was a poor match, but the wine itself proved to be a socked bargain. The secondary and tertiary aromas of wet wood, clove, forest floor, porcini, mushroom, leather, tar, figs, and dried strawberry are a symphony of deep notes. The medium body and graceful crispness make for a comforting enjoying experience. The high alcohol content and balanced soft tannins only add to its allure. The finale is long and satisfying, with a return to the wine's former glory.

Harmonious union of Italian pasta and a rich, silky leather oak tobacco, masterfully complemented by the deep, succulent plum notes.

Pio Cesare Barolo is praised for its rich, full-bodied character with notes of cherry, forest floor, and leather. Many appreciate its aging potential and complex flavors, while some find it requires time to fully develop. The tannins are often described as firm and well-integrated, contributing to a long, satisfying finish. However, a few reviews mention a lack of finesse in certain vintages.
The Pio Cesare Barolo is an elegant, full-bodied Italian red wine that exudes aromas of ripe cherries and plums, with a touch of spice and sweet forest floor. It has a silky texture and a long, complex finish. This Barolo is a pleasure to drink, with a beautiful balance of acidity, tannins, and fruit.
