Description
Still red Barolo DOCG, 14.5% ABV, produced by Pira Luigi. 0.75 L bottle, 2021 vintage. A Barolo born from the passion of a family with ties to the hills of Serralunga d'Alba since the late 19th century, with the goal of promoting the prized Serralunga d'Alba product. Extremely fresh and complex on the nose, it reveals notes of berries, vanilla, chocolate, and aromatic herbs. Deep garnet red color. Vigorous and intense, rich in extracts, with lively and pleasant tannins softened by the oak. Powerful, complex, and persistent, with a long life.
