Barolo 'Margheria' by Luigi Pira is a rigorously classic, intense and austere wine. Born in the cru of the same name of Serralunga from an old vineyard of about 50 years of age, in the territory of Serralunga d’Alba, west of the village of Serralunga, almost on the border with the area of Castiglione Falletto. Robust and full-bodied, with a rich and complex aromatic profile, dominated by spicy notes, and a warm and enveloping flavor. Wine with an important structure, a perfect synthesis of power and refined elegance. Faithful to ancient customs, it ages 24 months in large barrels and gives a deep, rich and persistent sip, with a dense and lively tannic texture and an aromatically deep and complex mouth. Barolo for those who love the traditional style of Langhe wines.
