Description

Our commitment to high quality, our love and respect for the land, innovation that becomes tradition, the pioneering spirit and the tailor-made approach with limited yields and small productions allowed us to define a unique, rigorous and authentic style, which has become the hallmark of our wines.

From microplots of Nebbiolo in the heart of “Ornato” appellation in Serralunga d’Alba, the first village in the Barolo region where the Pio Family started to acquire vineyards.
Ornato is a large amphitheater with complete south exposure, from early morning to late afternoon.

The very first single-vineyard wine produced by Pio Family, released for the first time with 1985 vintage. The particular exposure, the limestone and clay soil composition, nearly 400 meters altitude and the very dry and warm microclimate create a very powerful and full-bodied Barolo, with intense red fruit aromas and strong tannins, especially when young.
Extremely long ageing potential.
Produced in small quantities every year, since 1985.

Review
From the historic slopes of Serralunga d'Alba's Cascina Ornato, where Pio Cesare's single vineyard journey began in 1985, emerges a titan of Barolo. Like an ancient tale told in hushed tones, this powerhouse unfolds with brooding dark fruits while star anise and juniper berries weave their spicy narrative through waves of dried black currants. The wine commands attention with mountainous structure and an earthy finale that echoes through time. This is Serralunga's masculine soul captured in a bottle, promising decades of storytelling ahead. Drink from 2028
