Barolo DOCG 'Vignarionda' 2018 (750 ml.) Luigi Pira
Barolo 'Vigna Rionda' by Luigi Pira is a robust and intense wine, harmonious and balanced, expression of one hectare of the homonymous cru, the cru par excellence of Serralunga d'Alba. From here are born 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 for the choice of wood, as for every stage of production, to obtain a Barolo that shows off a rich and complex aromatic range, with hints of raspberries and watermelon, berries, rose hips and even tobacco, cinchona and balsamic herbs. Harmonious and rich, perfectly balanced in the structure between tannic vehemence and expressive momentum, with a very long and very elegant echo.
