Pio Cesare Winery

Pio Cesare has been producing wines for 135 years, through five generations, in its ancient cellars in the centre of the town of Alba.

The winery was founded in 1881 by Cesare Pio, who was a very successful entrepreneur, inspired to produce a small and select quantity of wines from the hills of Barolo and Barbaresco for himself, his family, friends and customers, and who was dedicated to the terroir of the Piedmont region and to producing wines of the highest quality.

His son, Giuseppe Pio, found himself with a thriving winery at the turn of the century and carried on his father’s passion. He invested in expansion of the cellars and the trade, making Pio Cesare a benchmark brand for the wines of the region.

Today, family members travel extensively to more than 50 countries around the world, echoing what Cesare Pio himself did at the beginning of our history, promoting the name and reputation of the Pio Cesare winery to restaurants, hotels, wine shops and wine lovers worldwide.
