Sips of the Week
This week Laurie interviewed Cesare Benvenuto of Pio Cesare Winery at the 2014 Hershey Food & Wine Festival. They tasted the following wines and talked about what makes the wines of Piedmont, Italy so special and legendary! Pio Cesare Arneis, Langhe, Italy Winemaker’s Tasting Notes: Slightly aromatic, with reach and ripe fruit, round, refreshing and crispy fragrance. Pleasant to drink. To be consumed rather young, 2 to 3 years maximum. Pio Cesare “Piodilei” Chardonnay, Langhe, Italy
Winemaker’s Tasting Notes:
Spicy, creamy, intense, persistent. Sweet, warm and ripe fruit, still fresh with a long finish. Long ageing potential.
Pio Cesare Barolo, Piedmont, Italy
Winemaker’s Tasting Notes:
A classic Barolo. Excellent structure and harmony, mild tannins and balanced fruit. It is immediately approachable, but it has a very long ageing potential.
Pio Cesare Barbaresco, Piedmont, Italy
Winemaker’s Tasting Notes:
A very classic Barbaresco, elegant with ripe and spicy fruit, great depth and complexity. The mild and ripe tannins provide this wine with gentleness and finesse, but also strength and opulence. Very long ageing potential..
