From our Family-owned vineyards in Treiso (Il Bricco,
San Stefanetto and Bongiovanni) and in San Rocco Seno d’Elvio (Rocche di Massalupo).Barbaresco Pio should not be described as a “basic” or “regular” wine, simply because it doesn’t carry any additional indication on the label; our Barbaresco embraces and combines each of the unique characteristics of the different vineyards and terroirs of the entire appellation. This year we have decided to emphasize even more our idea – expressed for a long time at the bottom of our labels – that Barolo or Barbaresco coming from multiple vineyards does not necessarily have to be considered inferior in quality to a single-vineyard wine. From 2017 vintage – released in the year of our 140th anniversary – we therefore decided to write on these labels the names used by our loyal public – from the 1960s onwards – when referring to our Barolo and our Barbaresco: Barolo Pio and Barbaresco Pio.
A very classical style Barbaresco: elegance and velvety, with ripe and spicy fruit. Strong tannins, but elegant. Good structure and concentration. Very long life.
15-16 °C
Integrated viticulture
Vinification in stainless steel tanks. Skin contact for 25-30 days. Ageing in large French and Slavonian oak “botti” for about 30 months; for a small amount in barriques as well.
