Note di degustazione
Quite volatile and heady on the nose. Dark, baked fruit. Plenty of acid, but the tannin is nicely rounded. New barriques seem quite evident, as does alcohol on the end. It's a bit brutalist. Opened up quite significantly over the course of the evening – deserves decanting. (RH)

Good deep red. Very closed but pure nose offers currant, marzipan, mocha and a whiff of truffle. Quite sweet on the front half and almost surprisingly round and opulent. Then turns more dry and classic toward the back, finishing with serious, dusty, fine-grained tannins. This will need at least a few years of patience.
The 2007 Barolo is inviting, sweet and open, yet has plenty of underlying tannins to provide support. It shows terrific balance in a style that reconciles the traditionalist leanings of this bottling with the ripe quality of the year. Sweet hints of tobacco, spices, leather and herbs add complexity on the textured yet grippy finish. Pio Cesare's straight Barolo doesn't seem to get the attention or spotlight it deserves, but it has truly been one of Piedmont's under the radar jewels for some time.
