About PIO CESARE
The PIO CESARE winery was founded in 1881 by Pio Boffa's great great-grandfather Cesare Pio.
He was one of the very first wine producers to believe in the great potential and quality of Barolo, Barbaresco, Barbera and in the other great wines of Piemonte.

For five generations, the Pio Cesare family has been producing traditional Piemontese wines in its ancient cellars, located in the center of the town of Alba. The cellar walls date back to the Roman Empire ,(50 B.C.)  Recently, significant investments have been made to rebuild and restructure the cellars and the winery's facilities.

PIO CESARE owns more than 50 hectares (130 acres) of vineyards which include the following estates:   in the Barolo region, the "Ornato" Estate and the "Colombaro" Vineyard ( in Serralunga d'Alba), the "Gustava" Estate ( in Grinzane Cavour), the "Roncaglie" (in La Morra) and "Ravera" (Barolo- Novello). Within the Barbaresco territory, the "Il Bricco" Estate and the "San Stefanetto" Vineyard in Treiso.
Other selected vineyards are located in the communes of Diano d'Alba, Sinio and Trezzo.

The wines are fermented and aged using both modern winemaking techniques in tandem with the most traditional methods of the region. After an appropriate ageing in large casks and barriques of different French oaks, the wines are bottle-aged before their release. All these elements contribute to the continuously high quality of the wines of PIO CESARE, while paying tribute to the vines and to the terroir.
