Pio Cesare recognized for 2004 vintage. Available in India

Pio Cesare is no stranger to us. We, at SI -The Wine Magazine, have had the privilege and pleasure of meeting the producer Pio Boffa and tasting his wines on his last visit to the capital. The occasion was a special wine dinner orchestrated at the Hyatt with their usual panache. Now we've just learned that the 2004 vintage of Barolo, Barolo Ornato, Barbaresco and Barbaresco Il Bricco have been highly rated by Wine Spectator magazine.

Furthermore, these wines are now available in India. You can buy the wines at attractive duty free and duty paid prices from Sovereign Impex (P) Ltd.
