PIO CESARE BAROLO ORNATO 2016 750

The Pio Cesare Barolo Ornato 2016, being a single-vineyard Barolo from a stellar vintage, presents a powerful yet elegant profile. On the nose, expect complex aromas of dried rose petals, violet, ripe red cherries, and hints of licorice, tar, and forest floor, typical of mature Nebbiolo. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with firm, yet refined tannins and vibrant acidity providing excellent backbone. Flavors of sour cherry, raspberry, and plum are intertwined with savory notes of mineral, leather, and sweet spices. The finish is remarkably long, persistent, and deeply complex, promising further evolution with age.

The Barolo Ornato di Pio Cesare comes from a small but careful selection of Nebbiolo grapes from the farmhouse located in the homonymous cru of Barolo. It is produced in small quantities every year. It is the result of a traditional vinification in steel carried out at controlled but basically high temperatures in order to fully develop the aromatic heritage, with maceration on the skins for at least 30 days. The wine ages for about 30 months in French and Slavonian oak barrels and for a small part in barrique. It reveals itself with an intense ruby color that can take on garnet shades over the years. On the nose it expresses a rich bouquet of small red fruits and a delicious note of licorice. In the mouth it is austere, masculine and structured, with freshness and persistent tannins
