Pio Cesare Barolo 2020
Pio Cesare Barolo is a classic and deeply characterful expression of Nebbiolo from one of Piedmont's most historic and respected family estates, founded in Alba in 1881 by Cesare Pio. Crafted from a combination of family-owned vineyards in Serralunga d'Alba, Grinzane Cavour, La Morra and Barolo-Novello, aged for three years in French oak, this is Barolo of real elegance, structure and longevity. Why You'll Love It Pio Cesare has been producing Barolo and other traditional Piedmontese wines for generations, with an unwavering focus on quality, site expression and classic winemaking techniques. Their Barolo draws from multiple prestigious vineyard sites across the appellation, blending them to create a wine of complexity and harmony that reflects the full character of the Langhe. This is Barolo in the classic style, built for the table and built for the cellar, from a producer who has been doing it longer than almost anyone. Vineyard & Production Sourced from family-owned vineyards in Serralunga d'Alba, Grinzane Cavour, La Morra and Barolo-Novello, alongside select grapes from long-standing grower partners. Grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks with around 20 days of skin contact to extract colour, tannin and aromatics. The wine is then aged for three years in mid-toasted French oak, 70% in large casks of 20 to 50 hectolitres and 30% in barriques, balancing structure and elegance. Tasting Notes Ethereal aromas of violets, blackberry jam, liquorice and cloves on the nose. The palate is dry and austere, with fine tannins and a lingering note of almonds on the finish. A wine of real depth, precision and classical Barolo character. Perfect Pairings A natural partner for braised meats, truffle dishes and mature cheeses. Also excellent with wild boar, slow-roasted lamb and hearty Piedmontese classics such as tajarin with meat ragu. Grape Variety Nebbiolo 100%
Pommard, Jane Eyre 2023
The 2023 vintage at Jane Eyre Wines continues the tradition of producing refined and expressive wines with hallmark precision. Like 2022, 2023 was shaped by a warm growing season, but with the significant difference of ample rainfall when needed, keeping the soils well-nourished. The reds display lovely perfume, aromatics, and depth—qualities Jane prioritises in her Pinot Noirs—while the whites, after a slower start, have blossomed into vibrant, expressive examples of the vintage. "A new addition to the lineup, this biodynamic Pommard leans toward a Volnay style with its bright red fruit profile. Crunchy wild strawberries and cassis dominate, with a hint of white pepper and fine, grippy tannins. No new oak ensures purity and freshness." Our note Jane’s use of whole-cluster fermentation increased in 2023, coupled with colder soaks at the start of fermentation. This approach has resulted in wines with richer colours and enhanced complexity. While the vintage is already showing expressive youthful charm, it also holds great potential for aging, making 2023 both approachable and collectible. The wines evolve quickly, offering fresh insights with each tasting.
