Pio Cesare Ornato Barolo 2019 is a powerful, tightly wound, and monumental single-vineyard Italian red wine that represents the historic estate’s original cru bottling from the famous commune of Serralunga d'Alba. Displaying a bright ruby-garnet color in the glass, it opens with a classic, deeply complex bouquet of ripe dark cherries, red raspberries, and wild herbs, interwoven with sophisticated layers of cardamom, eucalyptus, tar, and sweet pipe tobacco smoke. On the palate, this medium-to-full-bodied masterpiece showcases the signature muscle and concentration of the Ornato terroir, delivering waves of deep plum and savory spice driven by a racy, mineral-laden acidity. Its imposing, tightly knit structure is framed by incredibly ultra-fine, chalky tannins that seamlessly integrate with a long, saline, and endlessly persistent finish.
Food Pairing: This robust and cellaring-grade Barolo pairs magnificently with rich, savory dishes like slow-cooked beef osso buco, truffle-infused wild mushroom risotto, wild boar ragù, roasted rack of lamb, or mature hard cheeses like Castelmagno and aged Parmigiano-Reggiano.
