Luigi Pira Barolo Vignarionda 2017

Vignariodnda is one of Serralunga's most prized vineyards. It is packed with active limestone, in fact, it is the highest concentration of active limestone in all of Barolo! The soils are grey marl and sandstone that are rich in microelements which give these wines their staggering complexity. This also gives the wine its beautiful acid and intense, well-integrated tannins. In warm vintages like 2017, sites like this are able to temper the ripeness and create wines that will age for decades. This wine is massively structured but also ripe and appealing young. It is a wine that when enjoyed young, should be decanted for several hours or cellared for at least 5 years. A stellar showing from one of our favorite producers.
