Luigi Pira Barolo Serralunga 750 ML

The 2019 Barolos have been rolling in, and they’ve been consistently exciting wines to taste! With harvests taking place in the cool of October, producers welcomed the classically wonderful vintage, as it allowed them to make wonderfully deep and expressive wines with an immediately charming balance. Even in the famously intensely structured wines from the ridges around the town of Serralunga d’Alba, the beauty of the vintage is clear: the firm, fine-grained layer of crisp tannins and vibrant acidity form an energetic stage on which a complex melange of earthy-mineral, leather and dark spice accents join the core of floral- and balsam-tinged berry aromas. This is where the small family winery, Luigi Pira, makes their classic Barolos, and their delicious 2019s offer some of the best values out there today!
Luigi Pira has a classic Barolo story: based on his family’s history of farming here that goes back to the 1800s, Luigi formed the winery in the 1950s, but has only been bottling under the name since the 1990s. As Luigi’s sons, Giampaolo and Romolo, have taken the lead in the winery and vineyards, their fresh perspective has led to a marked rise in quality and expressivity of their home. They farm organically, and use no insecticides.
