Pio Cesare is clear that this is not a basic or regular Barbaresco; it is the historic family style, made to represent the harmony of the appellation as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyards\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit comes from Pio Cesare family-owned vineyards in Treiso, including Il Bricco, San Stefanetto and Bongiovanni, along with Rocche di Massalupo in San Rocco Seno d'Elvio, Alba.
