Pio Cesare Barolo Ornato 2020 Barolo DOCG

Pio Cesare Barolo Ornato 2020 is de single vineyard Barolo van dit historische huis in Alba, afkomstig van de cru Cascina Ornato in Serralunga d’Alba. Ornato is het krachtige, gespierde gezicht van Pio Cesare, met oude Nebbiolo-stokken op een amfitheatervormige, volledig zuidgerichte helling. Is Pio Cesare Barolo Ornato 2020 een wijn om lang te bewaren? 

Wijngaarden en regio

De druiven voor Barolo Ornato 2020 komen uit Italië, uit Piemonte, uit de Barolo DOCG, uit de cru Cascina Ornato in Serralunga d’Alba. De wijngaard vormt een natuurlijke kom met volledige zuidexpositie, van de vroege ochtend tot de late namiddag, waardoor Nebbiolo hier optimaal kan rijpen zonder zijn frisheid te verliezen. De bodem bestaat uit kalkrijke mergel en klei met zandige insluitsels, typisch voor Serralunga d’Alba, wat zich vertaalt in krachtige tannines, veel structuur en een duidelijke minerale ondertoon in de wijn.

Ornato was een van de eerste grote wijngaardaankopen van de familie Pio in Serralunga d’Alba en geldt binnen Pio Cesare als een van de toppercelen van het domein. Alleen de beste microplots in de cru worden geselecteerd voor Barolo Ornato en de opbrengsten worden bewust laag gehouden om de intensiteit van fruit en terroir te maximaliseren. Het familiehuis zelf staat nog altijd binnen de oude Romeinse stadsmuur van Alba, waar inmiddels vijf generaties Pio Cesare een klassiek georiënteerde maar precies uitgevoerde stijl hebben opgebouwd.

Vinificatie en rijping

De oogst voor Barolo Ornato 2020 gebeurt volledig met de hand, met strenge selectie van de trossen in de wijngaard en bij aankomst in de kelder. De druiven worden ontsteeld en vergisten in roestvrijstalen tanks bij relatief hoge temperatuur, met een lange schilmaceratie van ongeveer 30 dagen, zodat kleur, aroma en tannines stap voor stap uit de schillen worden gehaald. Deze klassieke Barolo-vinificatie levert een stevige structuur op, maar dankzij de precieze temperatuurcontrole blijven de aroma’s helder en verfijnd.

Na de vergisting rijpt het grootste deel van de wijn ongeveer 24 maanden in grote eikenhouten vaten van Frans en Oost-Europees eiken. Een kleiner deel van de wijn rijpt parallel in Franse eiken barriques tijdens de eerste 12 maanden, wat extra gelaagdheid, zoete specerijen en een subtiele toasttoon geeft. Na het assembleren van de afzonderlijke partijen volgt nog een periode flesrijping in de kelders van Alba, totdat de structuur van de wijn voldoende is versmelt. Het resultaat is een Barolo met serieuze kracht en concentratie, maar met verfijnde tannines en een opvallend nauwkeurige, lineaire stijl, bedoeld voor lange bewaring.

Druivensamenstelling

Nebbiolo – Cascina Ornato, Serralunga d’Alba
Pio Cesare Barolo Ornato 2020 is 100% Nebbiolo uit geselecteerde microplots in de cru Ornato, waar de combinatie van kalkrijke mergel, volle zuidexpositie en lage opbrengsten zorgt voor intens rood fruit, krachtige maar rijpe tannines en een uitgesproken mineraal karakter.

Proefnotities en serveertips

In het glas toont Barolo Ornato 2020 een robijnrode kleur met granaatkleurige reflecties. De neus is complex en gelaagd, met aroma’s van kers en rode bes, rijpe aardbei en cranberry, gecombineerd met tonen van rozenblaadjes, viooltjes, witte peper, zoete specerijen, cacao en een vleugje grafiet en rook. Bij het walsen komen meer balsamische nuances naar voren, met hints van menthol, kruidigheid en iets van gedroogde sinaasappelschil.

De smaak is vol en geconcentreerd, met een kern van puur rood en donker fruit, strak geweven, rijpe tannines en een levendige, bijna “snappy” zuurgraad die de wijn lengte en spanning geeft. De textuur is krachtig maar gepolijst, met een lange afdronk waarin fruit, specerijen, minerale tonen en subtiele houtaroma’s lang blijven doorlopen. Serveer Barolo Ornato 2020 idealiter rond 16–18 °C in een ruim glas en geef de wijn royaal lucht, zeker in zijn jeugd, bijvoorbeeld 3 tot 4 uur in de karaf. Aan tafel past hij uitstekend bij langzaam gegaard rundvlees, stoofgerechten van wild, lamsrack, rijke paddenstoelengerechten met truffel en bij gerijpte harde kazen, waar zijn kracht, frisheid en complexiteit volledig kunnen schitteren.

Nice Interior Cleaner / No Residue and No Shine
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Fresh
Most people knock Chemical Guys and it appears a rather basic , not boutique, car care line. This is one hit in the line and actually comes in at least three versions based upon the scent left after use. This one is a baby powder scent that does not linger too long nor to heavy. The cleaning power is light with no streaks. It dries quickly and does not appear to leave any markings. A light spritz on doors, dash, and interior parts and a quick wipe with MF. You could use a dampen towel also. It leaves behind no shine or dressing afterwards which is wonderful for those wanting a fresh like new appearance without the shine or goopy sticky mess.

Very nice look and perfect "sheen"..
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Fresh
I've been an avid detailer for 30 years. And I do love the chemicals aspect of it. I've tried many products, and the vast majority of them aren't very good. Mind you, I was starting out detailing back in the 80's, when you had a VERY limited amount of products to rely on (And yes, I remember the very first days of Armor-All when it would CRACK your dash.. Those days are, of course, long gone. But I have been a big fan of Chemical Guy's products, and have written many reviews on here about their other products. This Total Interior, I have to say, has met or exceeded my expectations. Tip and note: Always wear nitrile type gloves whenever using any chemicals for detailing, repair, etc A garage isn't complete without nitrile gloves and an air compressor.. Enough on that. First off, they say you can use it on glass, and this would replace a lot of other cleaners and protectants, I'm not sure I would use anything to clean glass other than Invisible Glass. I've tried them all, and to me, Invisible Glass is my go-to and ONLY glass cleaner. Secondly, this DOES have a UV protectant in it, which of course, led me to purchase this. I've said on here before that if you are going to take the time to detail, and make the effort, you should not waste your time with products (Especially interior products) that don't protect the interior from UV damage.. The sun is a killer on leather and plastic.. (And paint, over time).. So if you're going to use any products on your interior make sure they have UV protectants. Thirdly, they say you can use this on Leather. I for one, after working with it, probably wouldn't use it on my leather, I prefer some other products for that, and yes, don't bother using ANY leather treatment unless it has a UV protectant in it, or at least follow it up with something that DOES have a UV protectant. I personally wouldn't use this on my leather. I would use Chemical Guys' Sprayable Leather Cleaner and Conditioner (no UV protectant), and then follow it with Klasse Interior as the Klasse has a UV protectant. The Klasse is also a water based formula (The original was oil based) and it also helps to tighten the leather a bit too.. Those two in combination make a nice look. What's nice about this Total Interior Cleaner Protectant (TICP) is the way it goes on. You want to use a fairly deep piled Microfiber cloth to apply it. Pre wet the cloth with distilled water in a spray bottle. Spray the TICP generously on the interior doors and plastics. It works especially well cleaning off your armrests and control modules for windows, door locks. I would generously spray it on the door panels and work it in, but I would not spray it directly on my speaker grills or into the control buttons, you want to work around that. For those areas, after you do the general door panels, or interior, and then come back and spray on your towel, and then hit the specific areas. For the front dash, and the LCD screen, I sprayed onto my pre moistened towel, worked it in nicely, then I quickly grabbed another microfiber towel that didn't have a "pile" on it. Almost like those microfiber dishtowels. The reason why is when you go for that quick buff (And just a quick buff, that's all you need) you can and will create some static.. And when you create that static you'll break off peach fuzz off a piled microfiber cloth and it may stick due to the static. So use a microfiber towel with no pile on it and quickly buff it, you don't need much, this product is "hot" and dries fairly quickly, a couple swipes, that's it. I did get the baby oil scent, and it's reminiscent of that, but not too strong or overdone. A nice fragrance. It comes in a couple other scents. The final look is very nice, it's not a shine or a heavy sheen, it's in between the OEM flat look (When you first purchase a new car) and a light satin. Just enough sheen to spruce up the interior, but not like a basted turkey that looks greasy or oily. Just right.

works great except on windows
Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Fresh
I bought this to clean everything (dash, door trim and jambs, custom floor mats, infotainment system, center console, windows) but my leather seats and it cleans well and dries quickly without leaving behind that sticky and unnatural shine which is what I prefer. if you like everything having that “wet” look, this isn’t the product for you. my one complaint is that it absolutely does not leave a steak free finish on windows which is fine as I should probably own stock in Sprayway at this point. I was just hoping to carry one less cleaning product but this eliminated 2 so I count that as a win.

Chemical Guys Total Interior Cleaner & Protectant 16oz
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Fresh
A True All-in-One Interior Cleaner That Delivers The Chemical Guys Total Interior Cleaner & Protectant has quickly become one of my favorite detailing products. If you’re like me and want one product that can handle multiple surfaces inside your car, this is about as close to perfect as it gets. It’s versatile, effective, and safe to use on just about everything, which makes it a huge time-saver compared to juggling several specialized cleaners. What stands out most is the versatility. I’ve used this on my dashboard, touchscreen, center console, door panels, leather seats, steering wheel, and even glass with excellent results. It wipes away dust, light dirt, fingerprints, and smudges with ease, and it doesn’t leave behind streaks or any sticky residue. The finish is clean and natural—there’s no over-the-top greasy shine, just a subtle, refreshed look that makes the whole interior feel new again. Another highlight is the built-in UV protection. Living in a sunny area, I’ve seen dashboards and plastics fade or crack over time. Knowing this cleaner has UV blockers gives me peace of mind that I’m not just cleaning but also protecting the surfaces from long-term damage. That’s a major plus that many other interior cleaners don’t provide in one step. The scent is another nice touch. It has a fresh, light smell that makes the car feel clean without being overpowering or artificial. Some cleaners leave behind strong chemical odors, but this one is subtle enough that it doesn’t clash with air fresheners or linger too heavily after use. Application is simple. Spray it directly on the surface or onto a microfiber cloth, wipe, and you’re done. It doesn’t streak screens or glass, which honestly surprised me the first time I used it—I expected at least some hazing, but it left my infotainment screen spotless. It’s also gentle enough that I don’t worry about damaging sensitive areas like electronics or leather. In terms of performance, I can’t really find any negatives. For deep stains or heavily neglected interiors, you might need more specialized products, but as a general maintenance cleaner, this is exactly what I want. It keeps the whole car interior looking clean and well-maintained without having to carry around a shelf full of different sprays. Overall, the Chemical Guys Total Interior Cleaner & Protectant is a must-have for anyone serious about keeping their car in great condition. It’s versatile, easy to use, smells pleasant, and adds UV protection on top of cleaning power. I’d recommend it to anyone—from casual car owners who just want a quick wipe-down solution to enthusiasts who detail regularly. For me, this is a solid 5-star product—an all-in-one solution that lives up to its promise and makes interior detailing faster and easier.

Worth it.
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Fresh
Love this products. Regret not getting this sooner or even the kit. But super good, and actually smells pretty good no harsh chemical smell. Removed any stained I had with such easy. Which made application easy, just spray on microfiber towel and wipe away. A little expensive but again my fault for not going with the kit.
