DESCRIPTION OF THE BAROLO SERRALUNGA PIRA LUIGI
This Barolo di Serralunga made by the Luigi Pira winery is a wine with a classic profile, elegant and with the right softness on the palate. A bottle that honors and merits one of the most important denominations in all of Piedmont, which certifies that Pira is a master reality in declining the different crus that make it up, thanks to the presence of vineyards within the finest plots. A label that has received the success of national and international critics, confirming itself as an opportunity not to be missed.

This red Barolo di Serralunga is born from the use in purity of a native Piedmontese vine that has always been able to give rise to great red wines, Nebbiolo. The grapes of this variety are grown by the Luigi Pira winery team in vineyards located about 320 meters above sea level, facing south and south-east, which have their roots in a calcareous and clayey soil. Once harvested, the grapes ferment spontaneously, thanks to the presence of indigenous yeasts, in horizontal fermenters for about 12/15 days, at a controlled temperature. It then proceeds with the refinement, which lasts for 24 months and is carried out in 25-hectolitre wooden barrels.
Barolo di Serralunga wine reveals itself to the eye with a hue that recalls the color of garnet red. The olfactory profile is broad, which develops on notes of withered flowers, berries and spices, deriving from the period spent in wood. On the palate it is of excellent body, enveloping, harmonious, with a sip characterized by a beautiful tannic texture, finely integrated; ends with a finish of good persistence. The Langhe territory comes to life in this label signed by the Luigi Pira winery, a production reality that, since 1950, has loved to provide different expressions of the Barolo DOCG.
