Pira 2019 Serralunga D'Alba Barolo
$ 5499
Winemaker Notes
Luigi Pira Barolo Serralunga is a garnet red color with orange reflections. The nose reveals a classic Barolo, fresh and elegant in its notes of leather, hay, earth and spices. On the palate it is round, well balanced between acidity and tannins, very persistent.
Decanter
Despite a stern finish due to chalky, slightly dry tannins, this Barolo from Serralunga is delicious and with a very good quality price ratio. Classic sweet violets and fresh strawberries on the nose are allied to a full body and crisp acidity, with an austere finish now that may soften a bit with bottle ageing. Indeed, the wine was aged for 24 months in big oak casks so it deserves patience.
Jeb Dunnuck
The 2019 Barolo Del Comune Di Serralunga D'Alba is spicy and contemplative, with licorice, leather, sage, and cherry. It is medium to full-bodied, with good structure, and is balanced and savory. Ripe raspberry, dried apricot, and tea leaf are persistent with ample tannins and fresh acidity. It offers a lot of classic appeal and is worthy of cellaring a few more years. Best after 2025.
