Luigi Pira Barolo Margheria
Luigi Pira Barolo Margheria
Item No. IL1-2037E09B
In the 50s Luigi Pira decided to focus on grapes and wine, in the following decades he sold grapes and open wine to the biggest wineries in the area of Alba which sought after high quality products from Serralunga d'Alba. In the early 90s Gianpaolo, Luigi's son, started to take part in the winery management, and the wine quality became the key factor. Today Gianpaolo is flanked by his brothers Romolo and Claudio.
All the wine that comes from the historical vines of the family is bottled, the Nebbiolo grapes destined to the production of Barolo which come from the crus are processed separately for Barolo Vigna Marenca, Barolo Vigna Margheria, Barolo Vignarionda and Barolo Serralunga.
Over the last few years the winery has focused on two main aspects: on the one hand they have bet on a wine which reflects the grape quality attained thanks to the special characteristics of the hills of Serralunga d'Alba, in the very heart of the Barolo district. On the other hand they have developed their marketing potential based on quality with the collaboration of Marc De Grazia. The market has rewarded this approach, especially in Europe and North America.
Ties with the territory, quality and selection: this is the Barolo by Cantina Pira Luigi in Serralunga d'Alba.
The wine-making process of Barolo Margheria takes place in horizontal fermentation tanks with temperature control for 12-15 days. The wine ages in large 25-hl wooden barrels for 24 months.
Garnet red color. Very intense and complex nose with notes of fruit and flowers and hints of leather and fresh hay. In the mouth it is full-bodied, elegant, with pleasant tannins that are typical of Nebbiolo and of the wines made in the area of Serralunga d'Alba. Perfect balance between tradition and innovation.
Robert Parker 91: "Bigger and more structured, the 2009 Barolo Margheria shows a rich, velvety texture with ripe fruit and blackberry followed by characteristic layers of licorice, mint and soft spice. The wine shows intense aromatics and beautifully delineated fruit. The warm vintage leaves its mark, imparting firm tannins and a sweet cherry finish. Anticipate maturity: 2015-2025."
Wine Spectator 92: "Mint and floral aromas highlight this ethereal Barolo. The sweet, juicy profile and cherry, menthol and tar flavors are well-integrated with the acidity and tannins. Shows fine length on the spicy finish. Best from 2015 through 2028. 600 cases made."
