The Barbaresco di Pio Cesare is the result of the careful selection of Nebbiolo grapes from vineyards owned by the Boffa family located in different positions within the area of Barbaresco di Pio CesareBarbaresco: in Treiso (Cascina Il Bricco, San Stefanetto, and Bongiovanni) and in San Rocco Seno D’Elvio (Rocche di Massalupo). The vinification takes place in steel with maceration on the skins for about 30 days at rather high temperatures. The refinement takes place in French and Slavonian oak barrels for about 30 months and in a small part in barriques. As the company also emphasizes on the label in a friendly tone: this is not a "base" Barbaresco di Pio CesareBarbaresco, but has always been, and as tradition dictates, the most faithful expression of the various great terroirs of the Barbaresco di Pio CesareBarbaresco area.
