This red Barolo di Serralunga is born from the pure use of an indigenous Piemonte grape variety that has always been capable of producing great red wines, Nebbiolo. The grapes of this variety are cultivated by the team at the Luigi Pira winery in vineyards located about 320 meters above sea level, facing south and southeast, which sink their roots into a calcareous and clayey soil. The grapes, once harvested, ferment spontaneously, thanks to the presence of indigenous yeasts, in horizontal fermenters for about 12/15days, at controlled temperature. Then we proceed with the aging, which lasts for 24 months and takes place in 25 hectoliter wooden barrels.
The Barolo di Serralunga wine reveals itself to the eye with a hue reminiscent of garnet red. The aromatic profile is broad, developing notes of withered flowers, berries, and spices, derived from the time spent in wood. On the palate, it has excellent body, is enveloping, harmonious, with a sip characterized by a beautifully integrated tannic structure; it finishes with a good persistent aftertaste. The territory of the Langhe comes to life in this label signed by the Luigi Pira winery, a productive reality that, since 1950, loves to provide different expressions of the DOCG of Barolo.
