Pio Cesare 2018 Barbaresco

Pio Cesare 2018 Barbaresco DOCG – A classic pedigree in every sip. Aromas of wild cherry, raspberry, rosehip, black tea, with hints of cedar, tobacco, and sweet spice unfold elegantly. On the palate, refined tannins and lively acidity support vibrant red fruit and savory forest-floor notes, delivering a polished, medium-bodied profile with a velvety finish. Crafted from a blend of Treiso and San Rocco sites, aged 30+ months in French oak, this Barbaresco balances power and poise, promising elegance today and aging potential through 2035+

"Pio Cesare excels when it comes to the classics, and this wine is one of those. The 2018 Barbaresco (released one year later compared to its peers) delivers some mild candied raspberry ripeness with lilac, tarry smoke, cedarwood and spice. The mouthfeel is silky smooth with softly integrated tannins." Robert Parker 93 Points

"A rich, earthy style, this red evokes cherry, raspberry, iron and tobacco flavors. Broad tannins announce the finish, yet this remains balanced and lingers. Best from 2025 through 2040." Wine Spectator 92 Points
