Luigi Pira Barolo Marenca 2015  - First Bottle

Reviews

94 Vinous -
The 2015 Barolo Marenca is once again a wine of texture and volume, as it so often is, but there is also terrific aromatic nuance and layers of complexity to balance things out. Rose petal, sage, mint, sweet tobacco, licorice and wild cherry all run through this ample, super-inviting Serralunga Barolo. When I choose to drink a Pira Barolo, it is almost always Marenca. The 2015 is simply gorgeous. That's all there is to it.

To quote one of the foremost critics of Nebbiolo in his 94 point review, "When I choose to drink a Pira Barolo, it is almost always Marenca. The 2015 is simply gorgeous.

About the Producer

In the 1950s Luigi Pira decided to focus on grapes and wine, and 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. It was a first step towards its own production. 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.
