{"product_id":"barolo-pio-cesare-1970","title":"Barolo Pio Cesare 1969","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1969 Barolo Pio Cesare is a classic Italian red wine crafted exclusively from the Nebbiolo grape. Founded in 1881 by Cesare Pio, the Pio Cesare estate is situated in the heart of Alba, where its historic cellars feature walls dating back to the Roman era around 50 BC. Cesare Pio was a pioneer of his time, choosing to bottle his wine rather than selling it in barrels, which marked the beginning of one of the most defining wine houses in Piedmont. The estate proudly displays its heritage on the label, noting its foundation in 1881 alongside a history of prestigious awards, including medals from exhibitions in Asti, Torino, Alba, and Bruxelles between 1898 and 1910.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from the Barolo area, a highly prestigious appellation located in the Langhe hills southwest of Alba within the Piedmont region. Piedmont, which translates to \"at the foot of the mountain,\" is bordered by the Alps and is globally recognized for its small, family-driven wineries and a profound focus on terroir. The dramatic, steep hills of the Langhe are frequently enveloped in thick autumn morning fog, which protects the grapes and ensures a long, perfect ripening period. The 1969 vintage is recognized as a top year with finesse and depth, earning a score of 93 points. This exceptional vintage reflects the ideal conditions of the region, an area equally famous for its culinary treasures like Alba white truffles and hazelnuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced and bottled by Pio Cesare within the designated production zone, this Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) wine is a testament to the estate's mastery of the Nebbiolo grape. Nebbiolo is an Italian top grape known for yielding elegant wines with great structure, and it is deeply tied to the Barolo and Barbaresco appellations. Today, Pio Cesare is run by the fifth generation, with Federica Boffa and Cesare Benvenuto continuing a legacy that bridges tradition and modernity. The house is known for its classic Barolo style, which traditionally blends grapes from various crus, and it was among the first Italian estates to seriously export to the United Kingdom in the 1950s, helping to establish Barolo's reputation on the global stage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pio Cesare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57405057007942,"sku":null,"price":1800.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1289_f95631cf-a0a0-4ae0-9172-37b1180b2667.jpg?v=1789741542","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.dk\/en\/products\/barolo-pio-cesare-1970","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
