The Pio Cesare winery was founded in 1881, when Pio (surname) Cesare (name), a great businessman, came up with the idea to produce a small and selected quantity of wines with grapes cultivated in Barolo and Barbaresco. A year after, Pio Cesare created a company which unifies the passion for wine and the love for details, which are the symbols of his wines.
