97 points James Suckling: "Very primary fruit with beautiful aromas of peaches, strawberries, berries and flowers. It’s medium- to full-bodied, with bitter citrus, cedar, chocolate and coffee bean character. Tight at the end. From five villages, primarily Serralunga, Monforte, La Morra, Grinzane Cavour, and Novello. Needs two or three years to open and will age for a very long time. (2/1/24)"
93+ points Audrey Frick (Jeb Dunnuck): "A youthful ripe ruby color, the 2020 Barolo Pio is fresh and inviting, with perfumed aromas of rose petals, spiced strawberries, and dusty earth. Elegant and juicy, it’s easy-drinking, with fine tannins and juicy freshness within a medium-bodied frame, and it has good length for an entry Barolo. It captures all the graceful elements of this vintage and has a tremendous amount of charm as well as a complete feel. Enjoy it now or over the next 10 years. It would be a great by-the-glass offering if the price is right. Drink: 2024-2034. (5/13/24)"

92 points Kerin O'Keefe: "Dark spice aromas mingle with camphor, sun-warmed hay, botanical herb and violet on the 2020 Barolo Pio. Polished and already accessible, the palate features licorice, crushed mint and wild cherry set against fine-grained tannins. Drink through 2029. Abv: 14.5%. (Jan 2024)"
