Pio Cesare Langhe Nebbiolo DOC 2022
A refined, site expressive red from Pio Cesare, one of Piedmont's most storied houses, founded in 1881 and celebrated for traditional, terroir focused winemaking. Made from 100% Nebbiolo sourced from selected vineyards across the Langhe, the 2022 vintage reveals wild red cherry, rose petal, dried herb and subtle spice with hints of earth and sweet tobacco. On the palate it is medium bodied with polished tannins, vibrant acidity and layered fruit, finishing long and balanced, capturing both the elegance of Nebbiolo and Pio Cesare's enduring craftsmanship. What distinguishes this expression is its accessibility without compromise a wine that welcomes immediate enjoyment while possessing the backbone to develop complexity over a decade or more.
The 2022 vintage demonstrates exceptional clarity and precision, with each aromatic layer distinct yet harmonious. The wine's natural freshness and moderate alcohol make it remarkably versatile at table: serve alongside slow-braised beef, wild mushroom preparations, aged hard cheeses, or traditional Piedmontese cuisine. This Langhe Nebbiolo exemplifies why Pio Cesare remains a cornerstone of Italian winemaking, a producer that consistently delivers wines of profound character and integrity, offering collectors and enthusiasts alike a genuine entry point into the noble world of Nebbiolo.
