Barolo Ornato Pio Cesare 2014 is a single-vineyard red wine from the Serralunga d’Alba commune in Piedmont, Italy. This Nebbiolo comes from 10 hectares of the Ornato estate, a site known for its south-facing amphitheatre and limestone-rich soils. It has a bright ruby colour and develops a complex nose of liquorice, tar and dried rose petals. The palate is medium to full-bodied with round, chewy tannins and a core of ripe red berries, spices and Spanish cedar. This wine spent nearly 30 months maturing in large French and Slavonian oak barrels, with a small portion aged in barriques to add density.

Pio Cesare's 2014 Barolo Ornato is a pretty, beguiling wine, although I expected to see a bit more depth and overall textural resonance. Usually much more of a powerhouse, the Ornato is decidedly medium in body in 2014. Even so, it offers a good bit of persistence, with hints of orange zest, mint, kirsch and dried flowers that add complexity to the Nebbiolo fruit.Antonio Galloni1st November 2018
