What reviewers say
“Langhe nebbiolo elegante, piacevole, tradizionale. Affinamento in botti di rovere francese e di Slavonia per 24 mesi ed in barriques per una piccola parte. Bouquet abbastanza complesso e indubbiamente intenso, frutta rossa, speziatura gentile, petali di violetta appassiti.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
The sources of the grapes, enriched by a small proportion of Nebbiolo from the Barbaresco and Barolo region, provide body, structure and a long ageing potential. The fruit is intense and ripe but at the same time fresh with very sweet tannins. Nice fragrancy and longevity.
Pio Cesare Nebbiolo is an Italian red from Langhe. It sits in the $30–60 band, on a lowest observed 750 ml price of $39.95.
The cohort it is ranked inside holds 235 Italian reds. The calibrated figure is built from 2,826 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 2,864 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Pio Cesare Nebbiolo lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Italia (235 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 2,826.
