PIO CESARE
Pio Cesare is one of Italy’s classic wineries, as well as one of the Langhe’s most famous producers.
The headquarters were built in the 18th-century on top of the two-thousand-year-old walls of the city of Alba. Sections of the ancient stone pop up in the four-storey building, the basement of which is carved out of the rock below the level of the Tanaro. The cellars are a historical and architectural work of art. A series of refurbishments over the years have preserved the original style, atmosphere and charm of the ancient building.
The guided tour is meticulously detailed and leads visitors from fermentation tanks to vats, from large French oak casks to barriques. The visit with wine tasting offers a glimpse at the period residence of the Pio family, otherwise closed to the public: a building unequalled in the historic centre of Alba and a rare example of an “urban winery” in the Langhe, being located within the city for both vinification and ageing processes.
