2019 Pio Cesare Barbaresco

這款來自家族酒莊的經典Barbaresco，香氣以紅莓、櫻桃與一抹乾燥玫瑰為主，伴隨柑橘皮香與溫暖香料，再由烘烤榛果、煙燻與礦石氣息做底。口感上酸度清爽、礦感鮮明，單寧既有咬感但不生硬，經過時間會展現出絲綢般的圓潤感與層次。釀造上先於不鏽鋼發酵、浸皮約25–30天，之後在大型法國橡木桶熟成約30個月，少量在小桶中提升細緻度；軟木塞封口，傳承傳統的園區拼配手法，將Treiso與San Rocco等地塊的特色揉合。建議年輕時醒酒約一小時，搭配紅肉、蘑菇類燉菜、厚切乳酪或富含奶香的義式料理最合拍。語調輕鬆但內含結構，適合想要體驗經典產區風味的飲家。

A classically styled Barbaresco from Pio Cesare showing an inviting bouquet of bright red fruits — raspberry, cranberry and red cherry — overlaid with floral rose petal and hints of bergamot, baking spice and toasted hazelnut. The perfume also carries stony, smoky mineral notes and a subtle tobacco/leather lift. On the palate the wine is concentrated and well-structured: fresh acidity and chalky minerality drive a core of red fruit while very present but refined tannins provide a firm frame. Mid-palate is silky and savory, finishing very long and persistent. Producer notes: a traditional blend from family-owned sites in Treiso (Il Bricco, San Stefanetto and Bongiovanni) and San Rocco Seno d’Elvio (Rocche di Massalupo), crafted to combine the distinct characters of Barbaresco’s different terroirs. Winemaking: fermentation in stainless steel with extended skin contact of 25–30 days; aged about 30 months in large French oak botti with a small portion in barriques. Drinking window c.2023–2038. Best served after around 60 minutes decanting if opened young. Great with roasted and braised red meats, mushroom dishes, hearty pasta and aged cheeses.

Winery

Pio Cesare 是皮埃蒙特一座有名的家族酒莊，傳承數代，重視園區管理與經典釀法。酒莊由家族成員（現任擁有人：Federica Rosy Boffa）掌舵，採自Treiso與San Rocco等自有園地，堅持長時間浸皮與長期橡木桶熟成（以大型法國botti為主，少量barrique輔助），目標是釀出兼具優雅與陳年實力的傳統酒款。

Pio Cesare is a historic family-owned estate from Piedmont with a long tradition of producing classic wines from the Barbaresco area. Owned and run by members of the family (ownership: Federica Rosy Boffa), the estate sources fruit from carefully tended parcels in Treiso and San Rocco Seno d’Elvio and follows time-honored winemaking methods. The winery emphasizes vineyard selection, lengthy macerations and extended maturation — primarily in large French oak botti with a limited use of barriques — to create wines that balance elegance, structure and aging potential.
