Note di degustazione
Pio Cesare’s 1978 Barolo was another surprise for a number of reasons. Unbeknownst to me, proprietor Pio Boffa decided to attend the dinner. Boffa added invaluable first hand commentary on the region and a number of the wines. His 1978 Barolo showed beautifully, as I thought it would, based on my previous tastings. Pio Cesare’s Barolo is another wine made from multiple vineyards, an approach that today is sadly pretty much non-existent.

Pio Cesare’s 1978 Barolo offered great depth in its plums, menthol and minerals with remarkable purity and grace. This ex-cellar bottle was terrific. In 1978 the estate made just one Barolo, and much of the fruit for this wine came from the Ornato vineyard that today is the source of the estate’s top bottling.
