Pio Cesare Barbera d´Alba 1979 0,75l

Barbera d’Alba from Pio Cesare is a benchmark Piedmont red that combines traditional winemaking with modern precision. The bouquet offers black cherry, blackberry and ripe forest berries, lifted by violet, cinnamon and a touch of tobacco and vanilla from oak ageing. On the palate the wine is juicy and savoury, driven by the vibrant acidity that defines the Barbera grape. Flavours of dark cherry, plum, spice and gently toasted wood are seamlessly woven together. The texture is medium‑bodied and supple, leading to a long, fruit‑laden finish. A versatile partner for rich pasta, grilled meats, pizza and aged cheeses.

Pio Cesare

Between Alba’s old town and the rolling Langhe hills, Pio Cesare has shaped a house style since 1881 that marries heritage with exacting cellar work—and treats Barbera with the same seriousness as Nebbiolo. Sourced from carefully chosen parcels across several villages, the fruit is hand-picked, yields are restrained, and each lot is followed with patient precision to keep the terroir’s line intact....

The grape variety: Barbera

Barbera is an Italian red grape, especially important in Piemonte. It gives juicy wines with cherry, plum, bright acidity, soft tannins and savoury spice.

The grape is exciting because it is both accessible and serious. Barbera pairs beautifully with pizza, pasta, tomato sauces, pork, mushrooms and hard cheeses. Barbera
