Pio Cesare makes two Barolos; the single-vineyard Ornato and the straight Barolo, which is a blend of several sites across the appellation. The Ornato is considered the estate's flagship. In 2013, both bottles I tasted were not especially expressive. I found the straight Barolo much more complete and interesting, especially relative to its peer group. Both Barolos are aged in a combination of small French oak barrels and cask, with the Ornato seeing a bit more French oak.
