| Pio Cesare takes as much care in the production of their Barbera wines as they do with their Barolos. In fact, the winery feels that their Barbera is different from other Piedmontese versions because the grapes are grown right beside the Nebbiolo used to make their Barolo. Enjoy this quality wine with a selection of Italian cheeses, or with veal in a truffle-and-mushroom sauce. |
