We check multiple rating platforms for every wine where accessible: Vivino, Wine-Searcher, Wine Spectator, Decanter, James Suckling, Robert Parker Wine Advocate. Only verified scores matching the offered vintage or NV are shown and included.

Ratings are shown from 3.7/5 only when at least one contributing source confirms 10 reviews for this exact vintage or NV. Counts from different platforms are not added together.

4 exact platform scores are weighted equally. Native 99- and 100-point scales are normalized from 50→1 to their own maximum→5 (99→5 or 100→5); display and filtering use one decimal. Aggregator and critic-platform scores can partly overlap.

Description

Pio Cesare Barolo 2020 is the classic house Barolo from one of Piedmont's historic producers. The Nebbiolo comes from several top sites in Serralunga d'Alba, Castiglione Falletto and Monforte d'Alba, bringing together power, perfume and finesse.

Red cherry, raspberry and plum are followed by rose, violets, orange peel, licorice, tobacco and tar. The palate is firm yet refined, with fresh acidity, ripe tannins and a long, spicy finish.

A versatile, classically styled Barolo that already reveals plenty with generous aeration and can age beautifully. Serve with truffles, beef, game, mushrooms or aged cheeses.
