Description
What kind of wine it is
Pira Barolo Serralunga by Pira Luigi is a still red wine that embodies the essence of Piedmontese Nebbiolo. Originating from the prestigious Barolo area, it displays a garnet colour enriched with orange hues. On the nose, freshness emerges alongside distinct notes of leather, hay, earth and spices. On the palate, it offers a pleasant softness, achieving a harmonious taste balance between lively acidity and a well-defined tannic structure. The finish is long and persistent, confirming a solid and elegant style.
Where it comes from
This wine is produced in Serralunga d’Alba, an area of Piedmont with a deep winemaking tradition. Pira Luigi manages the estate with great care, enhancing vineyards that stretch over thirteen hectares. The soil, characterised by a calcareous-clay composition, gives the wine a particular tension and a well-defined tannic structure. The production faithfully reflects the local vineyard landscape, bringing the authenticity of a unique territory to the glass.
How it is produced
Vinification involves the use of horizontal fermenters at controlled temperature for a period between twelve and fifteen days. Afterwards, the wine rests for twenty-four months of ageing in wooden barrels, allowing for a gradual and complex maturation of its structure. At the table, it proves an ideal companion for structured first courses and pork-based dishes. Its texture enhances the intense flavour of game and pairs excellently with mature cheeses.
