Pio Cesare "Fides" Barbera d'Alba DOC

Since 2017 vintage exclusively from a small selection of Barbera grapes coming from the oldest vines of our Family-owned Mosconi vineyard in Monforte d’Alba. “Fides”, or “faith” in Latin, continues to represent the great longtime faith of our Family in the Barbera grapes planted and grown in very prestigious areas. Since the 2017 vintage Fides has been enriched by “Vigna Mosconi” and “Barbera d’Alba Superiore” appellations.

Winemaker notes

Extremely low yields and a strictest grapes selection. Produced in small quantities. Full body, balance and concentration. Ripe fruit and spicy. Very long life.

Wine Advocate 92: Fruit for this wine is sourced from an excellent site in Monforte d'Alba. The Pio Cesare 2021 Barbera d'Alba Superiore Vigna Mosconi Fides (with 9,924 bottles and 100 magnums on the market) is dark in color and rich and concentration. The wine offers a soft texture with plenty of dark fruit and blackberry. Those bleed nicely into sweet spice and light toast over a full-bodied finish.

2022

James Suckling 95: A very linear and tight single-vineyard barbera with flint, spice, black licorice and dark fruit aromas that follow through to a medium body with vivid fine tannins and a bright finish. A very serious wine with polish and structure. Drink or hold.
