Producer Information: Pio Cesare
Pio Cesare is a historic wine producer based in Alba, within the heart of Italy’s Piedmont region. Founded in 1881 by Cesare Pio, the estate has remained family-owned for five generations, maintaining a strong commitment to traditional winemaking methods while integrating modern techniques. The winery sources grapes from its own vineyards as well as select growers across key appellations such as Barolo and Barbaresco, focusing on expressing the unique terroir of each site through careful vineyard management and minimal intervention during vinification.
Beyond their flagship Barolo and Barbaresco wines made from Nebbiolo grapes, Pio Cesare offers a diverse portfolio that includes varietals like Barbera d’Alba, Dolcetto d’Alba, and Gavi made from Cortese grapes. The estate also produces Langhe blends and single-vineyard bottlings that highlight specific microclimates within Piedmont.

Their range extends to limited-production grappas distilled from their own pomace, reflecting a dedication to quality across both wine and spirits categories.
