AN EXTRAORDINARY VERTICAL TO BID FAREWELL TO PIO BOFFA, OWNER OF PIO CESARE STORY OF A CHARACTER AND A WINE THAT MADE HISTORY On April 17 Pio Boffa, a much loved character in Italy and in the world, a true ambassador of the Langhe, left us at the age of only 66. He was able to guide the course of one of the most glorious companies of Italian winemaking. A few weeks before his death, we were with him and his entire family at the winery to celebrate the 140th anniversary of the historic winery in Alba, awarded with the Red Wine of the Year in the Gambero Rosso Vini d'Italia 2021 guide. Today this interview is a precious legacy to disclose and take with you.
