Pio Cesare Langhe Sauvignon Blanc is a refreshing and vibrant wine that is rich in flavor and aroma. This wine is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes, which are grown in the Langhe region of Piedmont in Northern Italy. The grapes are carefully hand-picked to ensure that only the highest quality grapes are used. The wine is then fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve its crisp acidity and freshness. Pio Cesare Langhe Sauvignon Blanc has a beautiful pale green color and exudes aromas of green apple, lemon and floral notes. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with a zesty acidity that perfectly balances the flavors of tropical fruits, quince and ripe citrus. This wine is an ideal pairing for seafood dishes, pasta with cream sauce, or grilled white meats.

Tasting Notes

Pio Cesare Sauvignon Blanc is crisp and fresh, with notes of lemon sorbet, lime zest, green apple, and white peach. There are also hints of the herb and vegetable patches and freshly cut grass, which give it a ‘garden party’ kind of feel. It finds a lovely middle ground between the full-on intensity of New Zealand and the fruitlessness and minerality of the Loire, and it’s just screaming out for some al fresco dining.

About the Winery

The origin of Pio Cesare wines can be traced back to 1881. An affluent businessman, Pio Cesare, started this wine brand in 1881, as he wanted to produce limited quantity of wines for himself and his closed ones. He wanted to make the most of the fertile regions on the hills of Barolo and Barbaresco and create special wines from here. However, with every year, his passion for winemaking increased multifold.

By the beginning of the 20th century, he traveled to Europe to promote and spread awareness about Pio Cesare wines to the other countries. Pio’s passport was one of the first ones to be released by the Italian Government, when he had to travel to Europe! His son, Guiseppe Pio, took over the affairs of Pio Cesare wines in the 20th century, and he ensured that his company became a true representation of wines from the Alba region of Italy.

This label takes great pride in the fact that its vineyards (70 hectares) located in the unique locations of Barolo and Barbaresco have earned a place in the prestigious, “Additional Geographical Mentions”. These vineyards are located in different appellations to create wines that speak volumes about the rich terroirs.

The family owns 31.78 hectares of vineyards in Barolo, out of which more than 20 hectares are dedicated to growing Nebbiolo da Barolo. In the Barbaresco region, around 14 of the 26.90 hectares are dedicated to growing Nebbiolo da Barbaresco. Since 1881, this family-owned wine estate keeps producing some of the most elegant Barolo, Barbaresco and Albesi wines, following the same philosophy and techniques. The estate is currently under the management of the fifth-generation members of Pio Cesare, They keep travelling to over 50 countries to spread the history and culture of their wines to wine lovers and connoisseurs spread across the globe.
