Barbera is the most widely planted variety in the Piedmont region and the Italians, renowned for their taste, could not have been wrong here – soft tannins, fresh acidity and aromas with hints of vegetal notes, the perfect match for tomato dishes or tomato sauce. Pio Cesare’s version has an intense fruitiness, which perfectly supports the discreet barrel.
