Saturday, April 17, 2021 - Drinking very well today after an hour in the decanter. Violet, rose, orange peel, hints of menthol—a beautiful bouquet. A real classic.

Enjoyed with agnolotti and raised a glass to honor our dear friend Pio Boffa, who left us far too soon at 66 years old. During his 40 year run, Pio was instrumental in elevating the status of his family’s (largely négoce) house to that of an acclaimed boutique estate winery. From acquiring exceptional vineyards and parcels in different communes to eliminating the use of all chemicals in its viticulture, Pio Cesare is a regional icon for its traditional wines and long-term vision.
