Pio Cesare and the beauty of Barolo - with Federica Boffa

Send us Fan MailThis year I fell in love with the wines of Barolo. I have long been fascinated by Italian wine, all its history and the specific characters that the diverse Italian terroir confers. Barolo is unique. Now Federica Boffa, 5th generation Pio Cesare, agrees that Barolo is indeed special and the slopes, soil and altitude confer a rare magic that those lucky enough to taste Barolo wines get to experience. The timing of this conversation was just perfect as for me - Barolo is Christmas in a bottle – beautiful, ethereal and bloody complex. Federica Boffa of the Pio Cesare wine family took some time out of her busy schedule to sit down with me to record the last episode before Christmas, in which she shares the Pio Cesare story, the story of a family with a history stretching back to 1881 and a continuous link to the town of Alba. I couldn’t think of a better way of bringing 2023 to a close for the Cellar Door Podcast. A massive thanks to Federica for joining me. Support the show
