Note di degustazione
Good bright medium red. Aromas of red cherry, menthol, minerals and a whiff of caramel. Juicy and light on its feet, if on the light side for 2009 Barolo. Shows a medicinal reserve and good intensity to its red fruit, marzipan and mint flavors, but today I prefer the aromatics of the Barbaresco. Finishes slightly dry, with mint and pepper nuances.

The 2009 Barolo fleshes out in the glass nicely. Smoke, tobacco, worn-in leather, spices and menthol all take shape in a broad, large-scaled Barolo endowed with serious depth. Firm yet nicely-integrated tannins support a voluptuous, creamy finish endowed with serious depth. The 2009 can be enjoyed now, but it also has more than enough depth to drink well for the next decade-plus.
Concentrated ruby with orange rim. Iron and a little pruney. Generous fruit with a solid structure. Powerful but not heavy. (WS)
Pio Cesare offers two very distinct expressions of Barolo. The first, the 2009 Barolo, shows classic lines and elegant characteristics of mild spice and forest berry backed by dried ginger, blue flower and anise seed. Its tight, crisp and finely textured mouthfeel appeal to those with a preference for traditional Barolo. Again, this producer has done a good job managing the warmer vintage conditions. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2028. Pio Cesare is what I call a “lighthouse” winery. Steadfast and standing tall among the rest, it floods the landscape with inspiration and light for a slew of smaller, boutique wineries looking to find their way. Among the most historic brands in Alba, Pio Cesare has worked hard to promote Barolo and the territory of the Langhe across the globe. Their tireless efforts have been instrumental in creating a unified Barolo identity. Importer: Maisons Marques & Domaines; Oakland, CA; tel. (510) 286-2000
