A historic winery between tradition and continuity

Founded in 1881, Pio Cesare is among the most recognized names in Piedmontese winemaking. Over time, the family has built a heritage made of experience, rigorous selection of grapes, and respect for the different souls of the Langhe territory. The collection reflects this vision through wines that coherently tell the story of the denominations of origin and the winery's ability to interpret vintages and crus with a sober and authoritative style.
