Barolo DOCG 'Vignarionda' 2018 (750 ml.) Luigi Pira
The Barolo 'Vigna Rionda' by Luigi Pira is a robust and intense wine, harmonious and balanced, an expression of one hectare of the homonymous cru, the quintessential cru of Serralunga d’Alba. From here, grapes are born for a powerful and structured wine. The aging of 24 months is divided between small French barrels of 225 and 500 liters and large Slavonian oak barrels of 2500 liters. Great care and attention are given to the choice of wood, as in every phase of production, to obtain a Barolo that showcases a rich and complex aromatic range, with hints of raspberries and watermelon, berries, dog rose, and also tobacco, chinchona, and balsamic herbs. Harmonious and rich, perfectly balanced in structure between tannic vehemence and expressive momentum, with a very elegant, prolonged echo.

THE WINE
The Barolo 'Vigna Rionda' by Luigi Pira is a robust and intense wine, harmonious and balanced, an expression of one hectare of the homonymous cru, the quintessential cru of Serralunga d’Alba. From here come grapes for a powerful and structured wine. The aging of 24 months is divided between small French barrels of 225 and 500 liters and large Slavonian oak barrels of 2500 liters. Great care and attention are given to the choice of wood, as in every phase of production, to obtain a Barolo that boasts a rich and complex aromatic spectrum, with hints of raspberries and watermelon, wild berries, dog rose, and also tobacco, cinchona, and balsamic herbs. Harmonious and rich, perfectly balanced in structure between tannic vehemence and expressive drive, with a very elegant long echo.
THE COMPANY
Since the 1950s, Luigi Pira has transformed the company towards a wine-growing direction and, in the following decades, sold grapes and bulk wine to the large wineries of the Albese area that were looking for the prized product of the Serralunga d’Alba territory. A first step that marks an indelible imprint carved in this land that knows how to gift the winemaker with high-quality red wines, among which reigns the Barolo. It is starting from the 1990s, thanks to the push from his son Gianpaolo, that the identity of the Barolo wines of Pira takes shape, as it is during this period that the wine produced from the family's historic vineyards is vinified and bottled individually. Wines that would quickly establish themselves among enthusiasts thanks to their unique rigor and elegance, from Vigna Marenca to Vigna Margheria, from Vignarionda to the classic Serralunga. Today, Gianpaolo is also joined in his work by his brothers Romolo and Claudio. The wine produced from the grapes of the family’s historic vineyards is all bottled, the crü of Nebbiolo from Barolo are vinified individually, and the corresponding labels are born: Barolo Vigna Marenca, Barolo Vigna Margheria, Barolo Vignarionda. Not to mention the Barolo Serralunga.
