Pio Cesare Barolo del Comune de Serralunga d'Alba
Exclusively for the 140th anniversary, the family is paying homage to the backbone of its Barolo production by bottling a wine exclusively sourced from the soil and terroir of Serralunga d’Alba. Only 1,881 bottles produced—a nod to the winery's founding year.

James Suckling 97: Transparency of fruit with strawberry, walnut, hazelnut and stone undertones. It’s full to medium-bodied with tight, chewy tannins that are long and intense. Very nicely polished, yet forceful. A new wine from Pio Cesare. From four vineyards: Ornato, Briccolina, La Serra, Lirano. Made only for this year. Drink in 2024.
Vinous 93: The 2017 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d’Alba was made to celebrate the house's 140th anniversary. It offers plenty of Serralunga dark fruit and savory intensity, all packed into a super-classic mid-weight frame. I am tempted to see how this ages, as it is beguiling, complex and alluring from the very first taste.
