Pio Cesare
The Pio Cesare winery was founded in 1881 by Cesare Pio. For five generations, the Pio Cesare family has been producing traditional Piemontese wines in its ancient cellars, located in the heart of the town of Alba. Pio Cesare owns more than 50 hectares of vineyards, located in the most highly rated and better exposed ares of the Langhe region. Within the Barolo region, the ‘Ornato’ Estate and the ‘Colombaro’ Vineyard (in Serralunga d’Alba), the ‘Gustava’ Estate (in Grinzane Cavour), the ‘Roncaglie’ (in La Morra) and ‘Ravera’ (in Barolo-Novello). Within the Barbaresco territory, the ‘Il Bricco’ Estate and the ‘San Stefanetto’ Vineyards in Treiso. In addition to their own vineyards, Pio Cesare has fostered long-term relationships with growers for several generations who sell their grapes to the family.
