The colour is an intense glossy garnet, with orange reflections. The bouquet is ethereal, with hints of violets, blackberry jam, licorice and cloves. The palate is dry and austere, with a lingering hint of almonds. The Nebbiolo grapes used to produce this Barolo come from the family vineyards around the village of Serralunga d'Alba. Their own grapes account for about 70% of our production, and they also source grapes from the most favourable areas in Castiglione Falletto and Monforte, using the same producers they have been using for the last hundred years. These are growers with whom we have been dealing for generations, and the relationships are much deeper than normal business relationships. This Barolo has always been produced through careful blending of grapes from different vineyards. Pio Cesare stubbornly sticks to this tradition because they believe that the union of grapes from different vineyards makes their Barolo unique. The grapes from Serralunga give a full body, the ones from Castiglione Falletto offer an ethereal and tempting nose, and those from Monforte provide class and a refined nature. This produces a unique and inimitable wine. (6 x 75 cl)

Ca'Viola BRIC du LUV Langhe Rosso Piemonte
Description: Bricco del lupo is the charming name of a wine that has the power and elegance of the wolf. This wine is made from Barbera grapes and with minor addition of Pinot Nero. It gets its fresh, tart strength from Barbera, its ripe fruit bouquet from Nebbiolo and its mild tannin content from the French wooden barrique where it ages for more than 15 months. The result is a balanced, complex wine that has become renowned for its wide range of intense, persistent aromas and its world class flavour. The deep ruby red colour is almost opaque, and the bouquet emerges a little at a time, with refinement and elegance, to revela hints of cooked prunes, raspberry preserves, and currant and white chocolate syrup to reach a finale in which scents of various spices complete the fragrance. To the taste, it expresses bold, lengthy suggestions of black currant and ripe black cherry, while the body is soft, round, full, excity and thick, with a finale that is velvety and persistent.

Bava CONTROVENTO Dolcetto d'Alba DOC Piedmont
Description: Tasting Smooth and velvety in character, this wine retains the dry taste of a red and rounded tannins. Its dense color is characteristic. Vineyard/Territory Grapes grown in Castiglione Falletto Wine Production The grapes are picked quite ripe, then fermented and aged in steel vats first and then in the bottle, to ensure the right blend of youth and concentration. In contrast to the mainstream of successful international vines, Dolcetto is a much-admired, exclusively Piedmontese variety. Controvento was first made years ago at our winery in Castiglione Falletto, when the leading international strains first established themselves in Piemonte and we felt the need to reaffirm the existence of important indigenous grapes that deserved attention. Produced in the area of the great Nebbiolos, it shares the same exposures and proves that intensity and character can coexist with elegance and smoothness. A seductive, versatile wine, it can accompany sumptuous northern Italian cuisine as well as the new oriental crossover creations. The label features a corkscrew from the turn of the twentieth century, part of the collection on display at the wine cellars. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £118.44
