Pio Barolo

2011 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Pio Cesare Pio Barolo, crafted from the esteemed Nebbiolo grape, showcases the remarkable character of its Barolo origins. This vintage exudes a deep red hue, indicative of its richness and complexity. With a full body and a prominent acidity, it offers a delightful structure that promises longevity and aging potential. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing layers of dark cherry, plum, and hints of floral notes, while savory undertones provide additional depth. Tannins are notably firm, contributing to its robust character, and the wine presents a dry profile that beautifully complements its bold flavors. Ideal for pairing with rich dishes, this Barolo is a true testament to the artistry of its winemaking region.

Italy

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
