Wine Spectator ReviewRated 94Very beautiful aromas of berry, tar and rose follow through to a full-bodied palate, with fine tannins and a long finish of berry and vanilla. Very, very impressive. Polished and structured. Best after 2010.

Winemaker's Notes:

This historic family-owned estate is named after its founder Cesare Pio, who established the business in 1881. It is based in Alba in the heart of the Piemonte region, nestled between the Alps and the Mediterranean Sea. The surrounding hills provide a handful of ideal exposures for grape growing with unique micro-climates. The confluence of cold Alpine air with warm maritime moisture regularly creates a misty glow, or ‘nebbia’, over these foothills, hence Nebbiolo, the great red variety of the region. Ornato is a single vineyard Barolo from very ripe grapes of three differents plots of the famous Pio’s Family-owned Ornato Estate in Serralunga d’Alba, one of the top vineyards in the whole Barolo area. The characteristics of the soil, the microclimate and favourable exposure, allows the grapes to become extremely rich. The colour is intense and deep, almost impenetrable. The palate is deep and rich, showing good structure, with a long finish. “Ornato” is a more modern in style than Pio's traditional Barolo, but still true to its roots. 92 points from Robert Parker.
