Pio Cesare enjoyed a very strong vintage in 2016. The Barolos, reviewed in my most recent article, are superb, so I am not at all surprised to see a similar level of quality in the Barbarescos. As I have written previously, this historic house seems to have found a more consistent stylistic line of late, with less oak influence than was often the case in the past, and that really allows the purity of Nebbiolo to be at its most expressive.
