Barolo "Vignarionda" 2021 – Luigi Pira

Luigi Pira's Barolo Vignarionda is made from the most famous and important MGA in the municipality of Serralunga d'Alba.

Luigi Pira's Barolo Vignarionda stands as one of the most important and imposing Barolos in the Piedmontese wine scene. The vineyard, planted in 1994, has its roots in a calcareous clay soil. Here the microclimate is perfect, and the south-west exposure guarantees the perfect health and ripening of the grapes. Vinification takes place in horizontal fermenters at a controlled temperature for about 15 days; the first 12 months of aging proceed in barriques, NEVER first-pass, and then continue for another 12 months in large Slavonian oak barrels.

The winery: Luigi Pira

Founded in 1950 by Mr. Luigi Pira, the company is now managed by his son Gianpaolo, who has continued the family tradition of producing high-quality wines.
The Pira Luigi winery cultivates the main grape varieties of the Langhe: Dolcetto, Barbera, and Nebbiolo, from which, in addition to the Langhe DOC, the four company labels of Barolo are also produced: Vignarionda, Marenca, Margheria, and a communal Barolo from Serralunga.
Gianpaolo Pira has always sought to produce wines that reflect the tradition and the territory in which the grapes are grown. The company follows an artisanal approach to wine production, which involves particular attention to every phase of the process, from grape cultivation to vinification and bottle aging.
