(92+ points) The Pio Cesare 2015 Barbaresco offers a mid-weight approach and a solid core of fruit. That dark fruit center is surrounded by supple but delicate tones of exotic spice, smoke, tar, licorice and crushed stone. This is a fragrant and elegant expression that drinks beautifully straight out of the gate. This is a classic Barbaresco with an easy and approachable personality.

The label states: 'Please don't call it "Regular"'. Pio Boffa doesn't see this as a 'basic' or 'regular' bottling of Barbaresco, rather referring to it as the estate's 'classic' bottling, as opposed to the single-vineyard Il Bricco.

More translucent, the 2015 Barbaresco is another Burgundian effort with lots of light cherry fruits, dried flowers, licorice, and hints of tar all emerging from the glass. It's medium-bodied, light, and elegant, with silky tannins and outstanding length. It has plenty of upfront appeal and is going to evolve for 15 years or more with ease. |
