Description

Garnet red in colour with orange reflections. The nose reveals a classic Barolo, fresh and elegant in its notes of leather, hay, dried earth, and baking spice. On the palate it is round, well balanced between acidity and tannin, with a very persistent finish. Classic Barolo in in structure and fruit profile.

Barolo Serralunga works superbly with feathered game such as partridge, pheasant and also roast goose. Milder cheeses such as grana Padano and sheep cheeses would also work well.

In the name of Barolo. The PIRA family has been tied to the hills of Serralunga D'Alba, a land of great wines, since the late 19th century. It is a precious gift of the earth that the Pira family was able to cultivate, in the name of quality. They only produce red wines: Barolo, the King, is flanked by Dolcetto d'Alba, Langhe Nebbiolo and Barbera d'Alba.

The largest part of the vineyards is located in the territory of Serralunga d'Alba, on the western side of the hills opposite the village of Monforte d'Alba. These hills produce great, full-bodied wines thanks to their special features, which enable a natural development of the vine, in the very heart of the Barolo district.
The special attention paid to the care of the vineyards allows them to find the right balance between tradition and modernity, obtaining a product that is the best expression of its area. There is quality in every single stage.

The wine-making process of Barolo Serralunga 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.
