The wine is made from organic Barbera grape grown in Monforte and Serralunga d'Alba communes of Barolo appellation, Mosconi, Ravera and Gabutti vineyards. These vineyards are located at an altitude of 350 m, with clay and limestone soils that are ideal for growing grapes.
The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. The nose is dominated by aromas of violet flowers and blackberries, while the mouth reveals savoury currant acidity. The complexity of the wine is enhanced by soft and smooth tannins.
Serve at 16-18 °C with beef stew with tomatoes and mushrooms, pasta with meat sauce, mature cheeses.
"Pira" is an old winemaking family, mentioned in parish registers since the 17th century. Gigi Pira, a legendary representative of the old school of production, created his wines by harvesting grapes from his plots in the Cannubi, San Lorenzo, and Via Nuova vineyards. However, Pira's attachment to tradition did not end there: he was indeed the last surviving winemaker of the old style. Since 1980, continuity has been ensured by Chiara Boschis and her parents Franco and Ida, who already share a deep friendship and mutual respect with Pira and represent the historic "Barolo" producer family. Chiara is one of the first female winemakers in Barolo. Her style differs from the traditional one. The wines are bright, fruity, rich in aromas, and have friendlier tannins. The grapes are grown according to an ecological philosophy, and all processes are carried out by hand.
Wine Style
"Pira" wines are characterized by a distinctive character, blending tradition and modernity. They are elegant, harmonious wines that reflect the uniqueness of the "Barolo" terroir.
Prestigious Vineyards
"Pira" owns prestigious vineyards located in the most famous areas of the "Barolo" region:
These famous vineyards are complemented by other, lesser-known but equally valuable plots where 'Nebbiolo' grapes are grown.
Aging and Drinking Period
"Pira" wines have an excellent balance between youthfulness and aging potential. Thanks to the soft tannins and bright acidity, these wines can be enjoyed in their youth, but they also age and develop beautifully over time. "Barolo" wines are particularly famous for their longevity.
