2019 Pio Cesare Barbaresco Pio D.O.C.G.

95 POINTS

Falstaff

Bright ruby red colour with a flint core and a delicate brightening on the rim. Great, appealing and open nose, notes of fresh cinnamon powder, ripe raspberries, as well as some sealing wax and white pepper, savoury and inviting. Very elegant and polished on the palate, with tight tannins, nice salinity, lingers very long.Reviewers: Othmar Kiem, Simon Staffler

Falstaff

Bright ruby red with delicately brightening rim and flint core. Inviting nose, smoky and stony, delicate raspberry and some dried rose petal, black tea. Hearty on the palate, with very grippy, youthful tannin, plus nice salt, always comes back juicy, still a bit young, already drinking well.

Falstaff

Bright ruby red colour with delicate brightening on the rim and shiny core. Inviting nose, smoky and stony, delicate notes of raspberry and some dried rose petal, black tea. Hearty on the palate, with very grippy, youthful tannins, as well as nice saltiness, always comes back juicy, still a bit young, already approachable.
