Sourced from Pio Cesare family-owned vineyards “Il Bricco” in Treiso, located in the Barbaresco area, and “Colombaro” in Serralunga d’Alba, located in the Barolo area, which will be replaced from the 2019 vintage with the “Mosconi” vineyard in Monforte d’Alba. Since the 1985 vintage, it represents the desire to produce a white wine with the same body, complexity and ageing potential of the great reds historically produced in the area.
Spicy, creamy and intense with a soft but long aftertaste. Sweet fruit, hot and ripe, still very fresh with an elegant touch of oak. Long life. Produced in very small quantity.
James Suckling 94: Aromas of sliced apples, white pineapple, lemon rind and minerals. Medium-bodied and very intense and bright, with crushed seashells, iodine and light fresh green apples. Complex, crunchy and focused. Lots of limes and other citrus. Drink or hold.
James Suckling 95: An intense chardonnay with baked apples, honey, honeysuckle, lemon rind and hints of vanilla and flint on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit and a lively finish. Flavorful and vivid.
