Reviews of 2001 Pio Cesare Barolo Nebbiolo
90 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
January 2006
Made from a blend of parcels in various parts of the zone, the house’s 2001 Barolo normale offers a classic, somewhat austere profile. It opens with a pretty, balsamic nose that is followed by sweet dark fruit and tar flavors that develop in the glass with notable length, persistence and freshness on the finish. It will drink well to at least age 20. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2021.

91-94 points, Stephen Tanzer
January 2004
Good full medium ruby. Highly aromatic nose combines cherry, blackberry, tar, truffle, dried flowers, minerals, humus and spices. Utterly silky on entry, then drier and more laid-back than the Barbaresco classico in the middle palate. Very long and rich on the back end, with substantial but ripe tannins and terrific building length. I added a bit of barrique juice to my glass to approximate the final blend, and found the wine to be even fresher, spicier and more minerally. 91-94 points

Very pretty plum and fresh flower aromas follow through to a full-bodied palate, with velvety tannins and a long, long finish. Layered and serious. Very close to the fabulous 1997. Best after 2009. 7,000 cases made. (JS)
About 2001 Pio Cesare Barolo Nebbiolo
About the Winery Pio Cesare
The same family has for more than 100 years - or four generations - been producing and ageing wines in the most famous winemaking region of Italy. The tradition began in 1881, when Pio Cesare started gathering grapes in his vineyards and purchasing those of some selected and reliable farmers in the hills of Barolo and Barbaresco districts.
The winery's output has always been limited through there adherence to the highest standards. The firm will not make a wine, if it has not succeeded in producing mature and healthy grapes. The ripening of the grapes is carefully watched. The harvesting is rigidly controlled, selecting grape by grape. There has always been a conviction that great wine can come only from the finest grapes.
Today, the estate is managed by Pio Boffa, great-grandson of Pio Cesare. Under his stewardship, the wines of Pio Cesare have become famous throughout the world. Great strides have been made in quality, and single vineyard offerings have dazzled the wine press.
