The vines for Pio Cesare's Barbera wine grow beside their Barolo vines. Even though Barolo is often considered a more complex, serious wine, Pio Cesare makes their Barbera with serious intent and dedication.

Barbera D'alba food pairings: Italian cheese, veal in a truffle and mushroom sauce, antipasto, chicken, pasta with cream-based sauce.

Reviews and Ratings

This medium-bodied Italian red wine is savoury and juicy with mouth-watering flavours of tart black fruit and some smoke on the finish. Perfect for pasta with tomato sauce. Balanced acidity and polished tannins. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
