DESCRIPTION OF THE NEBBIOLO BY LUIGI PIRA

Nebbiolo wine is one of the most classic Piedmontese reds, which the Luigi Pira winery, a production company strongly linked to the territory, interprets in a traditional way, highlighting the typical subtle aromas of violets and cherries on the nose. A balanced and immediately understandable bottle, thanks also to a harmonious drink, in which nothing is out of place. A label that, in addition to these qualities, also has that of being highly gastronomic, in fact accompanying a different range of recipes, ingredients and preparations.

This Nebbiolo is born from the homonymous grapes in purity, raised by the Luigi Pira winery in a vineyard of just one hectare in the municipality of Serralunga, facing south and southwest, at an altitude of about 310 meters above sea level. The vines, whose age is around 20 years, have their roots in a subsoil composed mainly of limestone and clay. The grapes, once harvested and brought to the rooms used for winemaking, ferment in horizontal steel fermenters for about 10-15 days, and then refine in small and large barrels for a year. After bottling, a further maturation period of 6 months follows, directly in glass, before being put on the market.

The Nebbiolo red wine signed by the Luigi Pira winery presents itself upon visual examination with a color that recalls garnet, with some slight ruby ​​nuances in the glass. The nose is enveloped in layered notes, which, from a more floral start, turn towards red fruit and wood. On the palate it is full-bodied, broad, full, with a balanced sip, characterized by a pleasant freshness and a snappy tannic component. A bottle that is the result of the link between the vine and the territory, with which the winery searches for uncompromising quality.
