Pio Cesare's Langhe DOC Nebbiolo represents a pure and authentic expression of Nebbiolo, a grape variety known as the 'King of Wines'. A wine that comes from a careful selection of grapes capable of giving life to a label of great complexity and elegance. Vineyards owned by the Pio Cesare family, located in particularly suitable areas within the Langhe. Sun-kissed hills, limestone-clay soils and a temperate microclimate. Nebbiolo gives the wine structure, elegance and an incredible capacity for ageing. The grapes are destemmed and gently crushed. Fermentation takes place in steel at a controlled temperature, with maceration on the skins for about 20 days. This is followed by ageing for 24 months in French and Slavonian oak barrels, and partly in barriques. In the glass it has an intense ruby red colour with garnet reflections. The nose reveals a complex and enveloping bouquet, with hints of ripe berries, sweet spices, vanilla and cocoa. In the mouth, the wine is full and structured, with velvety tannins and a persistent, harmonious finish. Its structure and fine complexity make it ideal with red meat dishes, game, mature cheeses and pasta dishes with meat sauce. Also try it with mushroom risottos or with white Alba truffles.
