Description

Purchased ex-UK in Sep-24, stored since Oct-24 delivery in a Liebherr wine fridge (copies of in-bond and duty/VAT invoices will accompany the shipment).

Review (Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, July 2020):
The 2016 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba draws its fruit from the comune, or village, of the appellation known for the power and depth of its wines. This pretty rendition offers deep, dark fruit with wild cherry and plum in leading roles. There is a vibrant supporting cast of mineral aromas, terracotta, licorice and dark spice. This wine is beautifully balanced, mirroring the best qualities of this classic vintage. Some 13,000 bottles were made. 2023-2040. 93.

Winery Info:
Azienda Agricola Pira Luigi is a winery in Serralunga d'Alba within the Barolo appellation. Founded by the Pira family in 1950, this Serralunga estate consists of 12 hectares of vineyards at 300 metres above sea level, with winemaking duties overseen by Giampaolo Pira.
Vigna Marenca is considered to be one of the best vineyards in the township of Serralunga, and this estate produces single-vineyard Barolo from plots owned in all of these crus (which can be seen from the azienda’s terrace). Established in the 1950s, the family spent its early history first selling grapes and then bulk wine. However, in the early 1990s, they began to focus on quality instead of quantity, renovating the winery and installing new equipment.
The estate produced its first Barolo in 1993 and soon acquired the three Serralunga crus which provide the Nebbiolo for its single-vineyard Barolo wines: Rionda, Marenca, and Margheria. The eponymous Pira Luigi has since handed the reins of the estate to his son Gianpaolo and his brothers Romolo and Claudio.
Natural farming practices that emphasize low yields are favored, and the use of chemicals is eschewed. Production is small, with between 4,000 and 9,000 bottles produced each vintage for the single crus.
