About Pio Cesare
Founded in 1881, Pio Cesare is one of Piedmont, Italy's most prestigious and historic wineries. For over 140 years, the winery has produced exceptional wines that capture the essence of the region's terroir. The Pio Cesare family's unique winemaking method stresses minimal intervention to produce wines of exceptionally supple flavor expression. A ceaseless devotion to the individuality of each of the region's wines informs Pio Cesare's choices in the cellar:
Shorter maceration
Separate lot fermentation
Judicious selection for barrel and considerable cask aging
Bottling schedules are determined by the ideal structure of each wine
This allows Pio Cesare to craft wines of varying weight, age-ability, and drinkability as determined by the vineyard rather than market fashion.
Il Bricco
This wine is a single-vineyard Barbaresco using very ripe grapes from several plots in the famous Il Bricco estate owned by the Pio Cesare family. While soils in surrounding villages are sandy, the Il Bricco vineyard primarily comprises limestone and clay. In the Piemontese dialect, Il Bricco translates to "peak of the hill." Reaching 400 meters above sea level, this estate is characterized by cool weather and significant diurnal swings—both favorable conditions for the ripening of the Nebbiolo grape.
